Times of India | 12 July 2025
Kolkata: Bangla Sahayata Kendras (BSKs), which act as a single-window platform offering free assistance in applying to schemes, achieved a Rs 1,000 crore milestone in digital transactions.
CM Mamata Banerjee posted on X: "This milestone underscores the growing public trust in the BSK digital platform and highlights the efficiency and transparency of West Bengal's digital public service delivery model.
"The CM said BSKs facilitate thousands of vital services — from scholarships, certificates, and pensions to health, housing, and social welfare schemes — all seamlessly processed through their robust digital infrastructure. Even paying electricity bills through BSK is popular among consumers as there is a rebate of 1%.
The CM added, "This initiative is a testament to ‘Digital Bangla in action,' actively empowering citizens, reducing accessibility barriers, and fostering an inclusive governance model. The Rs 1,000 crore milestone is the result of the dedication, resilience, and teamwork of every BSK operator and the support teams that enable this mission on the ground.
