West Bengal’s “Nodi Bandhan” Scheme and Ghatal Masterplan

West Bengal’s “Nodi Bandhan” Scheme and Ghatal Masterplan:

The West Bengal government, under Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, has introduced the “Nodi Bandhan” scheme in the 2025-26 budget to enhance riverine development and prevent erosion along the Ganga-Padma. Alongside this, a significant allocation for the Ghatal Masterplan has been made to address flooding in West Midnapore. These initiatives aim to mitigate natural calamities, boost livelihoods, and strengthen infrastructure in the river-dependent regions of the state.
