The West Bengal administration is currently accepting online registration and application forms for the WB Khadya Sathi Scheme 2026 at wbpds.wb.gov.in. Citizens can submit their applications via the official website or by visiting local Duare Sarkar camps. First introduced on January 27, 2016, this initiative ensures that approximately 70 million residents—about 90% of the state’s population—receive wheat and rice at a subsidized rate of Rs 2 per kilogram, while an additional 5 million people receive these essentials at half the standard market price.
Over the past several months, the state has been transitioning to a digital ration card system to replace older versions. To improve accessibility, the West Bengal government launched the "Duare Sarkar" outreach program, which brings various Khadyasathi services—including updates and corrections to existing digital cards—directly to the public.
This initiative is ongoing. Individuals experiencing issues with their ration cards can visit the official portal of the Department of Food and Supplies, Government of West Bengal, at wbpds.gov.in for assistance.
