Welcome to AnnapurnaBhandar.org.in (অন্নপূর্ণা ভান্ডার) — an independent informational platform dedicated to bringing you accurate, simple, and timely updates about the Annapurna Bhandar Prakalpa (অন্নপূর্ণা ভান্ডার প্রকল্প) and other West Bengal government welfare schemes for women.


Why We Built This Website

When the West Bengal government announced the Annapurna Bhandar Prakalpa — promising ₹3,000 per month to every eligible woman in the state — we noticed something important: millions of women had questions, but reliable, easy-to-understand information was hard to find.

Most of what circulated on WhatsApp, Facebook, and unofficial websites was either misleading, outdated, or worse — designed to trick people into sharing personal details. Government websites, while authoritative, can be confusing for ordinary citizens unfamiliar with administrative language.

We created AnnapurnaBhandar.org.in to bridge that gap. Our mission is simple:

“To make government welfare schemes understandable, accessible, and fraud-free for every woman of West Bengal.”
