Happy to share one piece of excellent news on the eve of International Women's Day: our government- trained candidates from West Bengal have fared very well in the prestigious UPSC civil service examimations 2025, and,among them, our girls have secured about half of the coveted top berths as per the just-published results.

Congratulations and best wishes to the successful candidates, their parents/ guardians and teachers, and best wishes to all aspirants for future attempts. We are happy that we could provide highly subsidised coaching support to the candidates from our Satyendra Nath Tagore Civil Services Study Centre. In our time, we set up this Institute and I am feeling proud.

11 candidates trained with our Centre have secured top places in the UPSC Civil Services Examination 2025 Final Merit List. Nearly 50% of them are girls.

Diksha Rai (40), Akash Kumar Rai (279), Vaishna Biswas (367), Goutam Thakuri (432), Debjyoti Halder (443), Debabrata Pramanik (467), S. Nived Kumar (486), Mohsina Bano (648), Juhi Das (649), Kirti Chowdhury (760), and Anniela Sherpa (893) received our state government coaching and have brought laurels to Bengal by securing impressive ranks, as mentioned in the brackets. They are likely to enter IAS, IPS and other premier services.

There are also others from West Bengal who have succeeded in this all-India examination and are expected to enter the apex services.

Our encouragement and constant care have inspired our youth, and this achievement will in turn encourage many more to aspire for All-India competitive examinations from West Bengal.

Kudos to these bright boys and girls for their achievements. The Government of West Bengal is with you!

Work has begun on 33 paved roads across various areas of 9 wards of Siliguri Municipal Corporation under the Pathashree project. These roads will make daily travel smoother, safer and dust-free, improving access to homes, schools, markets and hospitals. This people-centric initiative reflects the vision and commitment of Hon’ble CM Mamata Banerjee towards better roads for both urban and rural Bengal..

[Gautam Deb @gautamdebaitc]

With an allocation of ₹57,08,083 from the Siliguri Municipal Corporation, we marked the beginning of work on an Urban Health & Wellness Centre in Ward 46, inaugurated the Primary Health Centre in Ward 4 & launched paved road works under the Pathashree project in Ward 5. These initiatives will strengthen healthcare access and improve everyday mobility for citizens across Siliguri..

There are some feelings you don’t need words for. When you see relief on a mother’s face, when you see parents finally breathe easy because their children are well again, you understand everything in that moment.

In Nandigram, a family’s young daughter, who has been battling thalassemia, fell seriously ill. She was brought to the Sebaashray camp, referred for treatment, and taken to NRS Hospital, where she received the care she needed through a system built to respond quickly and responsibly. Today, she is healthy again. Seeing her smile, and seeing the calm return to her parents’ faces, was deeply moving.

For families, illness is not just about medicine. It is about fear, waiting, uncertainty, and the worry that no parent ever wants to carry. Sebaashray exists to ensure that in those moments, help is available without hesitation, without cost, and without dignity being compromised.

My only prayer is that this young girl’s life be filled with health, happiness, and strength, and that every family who needs support finds it when they need it most.

[Abhishek Banerjee @abhishekaitc]

In the noble pursuit of safeguarding the health and dignity of people, Sebaashray stands as a luminous testament to compassion, a beacon that pierces through adversity to illuminate lives with hope and healing. Though our camps in Nandigram have now concluded, the vital stream of service continues to flow unabated, ensuring that care reaches everyone in need.

From our health camps in Nandigram I block, 5 patients were referred for care, while 11 more from Nandigram II joined them, totaling 16 citizens who have now reclaimed the precious gift of clear vision. Through free eye surgeries at Kalyani Eye Care, Nimtouri, they have emerged from the shadows of blurred existence, their eyes brimming with tears of joy and gratitude as the world unfolds anew in vivid splendour.

These moments remind us of the vulnerabilities we all share, and the transformative power of selfless service to turn despair into delight.

At least 18 labourers have been killed in a horrific explosion at an illegal coal mine in Meghalaya’s East Jaintia Hills, a tragedy that exposes the criminal apathy of those entrusted with governance.

These were workers forced into death traps by poverty, exploitation and the complete collapse of regulatory oversight. Illegal mining does not survive without political protection, administrative silence and systemic corruption. The blood of these workers stains the hands of the ruling NPP Government in the State.

My deepest condolences to the bereaved families. Those responsible, from mine operators to officials who enabled this lawless ecosystem, must be identified, prosecuted and punished.

When institutions fail the people, my leader @MamataOfficial stands firm. Her fearless fight against SIR is not about politics.. it is about protecting citizens’ rights and democracy itself. Bengal has seen this courage before, and it knows who stands with the people..

[Mamata Banerjee @MamataOfficial]

Today, at Banga Bhawan in Delhi’s Chanakyapuri, I met victims of the deeply flawed SIR process, families who have lost loved ones and citizens who, despite being alive, have been falsely marked “dead” and erased from the electoral rolls. Their testimonies were heartbreaking. In a democracy, to inflict such suffering on the people, is not just tragic, it is unconscionable.

Women, senior citizens, migrant workers, daily wage earners, patients, entire lives have been thrown into chaos by this reckless and inhumane exercise. What is even more alarming is that, without any statutory authority and in violation of the Representation of the People Act, an unprecedented number of micro-observers have been deployed in Bengal to usurp the powers of EROs and AROs. Rules are being rewritten mid-process, technologies misused, and procedures weaponised, all to selectively target Bengal and its people.

The BJP has failed to win the trust of the people. It has failed politically. And so it has chosen to hijack a constitutional institution to do what it cannot achieve democratically. But their conspiracies will only strengthen our resolve. We will fight this assault on democracy with every constitutional means at our disposal. We will fight to protect every citizen’s right to vote, to defend Babasaheb Ambedkar’s Constitution, and to uphold the sanctity of free and fair elections.

The soil of Singur has always inspired me. My journey of struggle is deeply intertwined with this land, and I am truly moved by the warmth and affection with which the people of Singur embraced me today. First and foremost, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the families of those who lost their lives due to the unplanned SIR. I am also deeply saddened by the untimely demise of Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister, Shri Ajit Pawar. I pray for the eternal peace of his departed soul and convey my sincere condolences to his family.

From the soil of Singur today, I inaugurated Phase II of the Banglar Bari (Gramin) housing scheme, fully funded by the State Government. In this phase, 20 lakh families will receive ₹1.20 lakh each to build their homes, with a total outlay of ₹24,000 crore. In Phase I, 12 lakh rural families had already benefited at an expenditure of ₹14,400 crore, enabling homeless and families to secure dignified pucca homes. Across both phases, the State Government is investing ₹38,400 crore to benefit 32 lakh rural families. Alongside this, I inaugurated the Ghatal Master Plan for flood control and drainage improvement across flood-prone regions of Paschim Medinipur and Purba Medinipur. Nearly 10 lakh people will benefit from this ₹1,500 crore initiative, covering 801 sq km.

I also flagged off 50 Sufal Bangla vehicles and initiated the disbursal of compensation under the Bangla Shasya Bima scheme for crop losses caused by natural calamities during the Kharif 2025 season, amounting to ₹80 crore. Over 2.35 lakh farmers will receive direct financial assistance in their bank accounts through DBT. I also inaugurated 150 agricultural machinery hiring centres and 603 machinery hubs across the State and distributed 29,000 modern agricultural equipment to farmers in various districts, with a total value of ₹160 crore. Today, I distributed 7,727 land pattas across 22 districts. Furthermore, with the support of the World Bank, I announced West Bengal’s healthcare reform programme, ‘Unnoto Suswasthya’, which will focus on non-communicable diseases, maternal and child health, and adolescent health, with a total outlay exceeding ₹3,700 crore. I also inaugurated 1,077 projects across 28 departments worth ₹5,694 crore and laid the foundation stones for 616 projects worth ₹2,183 crore.

The soil of Singur will always remain close to my heart. It continually inspires me to walk the path of truth and to stand for people’s rights. An Agro-Industrial Park has already been developed in Singur on 8 acres at a cost of ₹9.20 crore, and a private industrial park is coming up on 77 acres, creating employment for thousands. Unable to match Bengal’s pace of development, the Bangla-birodhi Central Government is now conspiring to disenfranchise legitimate voters through its unplanned and coercive SIR process. Ordinary citizens are being harassed, lives are being lost, and Bengal is being repeatedly targeted and humiliated. Touching the soil of Singur today, I renewed my resolve to continue this fight. I will soon go to Delhi myself to defend the democratic rights of our people. No autocracy will ever be allowed to take root in Bengal.

[Mamata Banerjee @MamataOfficial]

Deeply shocked and stunned by the suddden demise of Ajit Pawar! The Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra and his co-passengers have died in a disastrous plane crash at Baramati today morning, and I am feeling a deep sense of loss.

My condolences to his family including his uncle Sharad Pawar ji, and late Ajitji's all friends and followers.

The incident needs proper investigation.
