flag West Bengal creates four new boards for marginalized communities to protect culture and boost development ahead of 2026 elections.

flag West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced the creation of five new cultural and development boards for the Munda and Kora (Scheduled Tribes), Dom (Scheduled Caste), and Kumbhakar and Sadgope (Other Backward Classes) communities. flag The boards aim to protect languages, traditions, and customary rights while improving access to education, healthcare, and employment. flag The move, made ahead of the 2026 assembly elections, reflects the government’s commitment to inclusive development under the "Ma, Mati, Manush" principle. flag It follows political tensions over President Droupadi Murmu’s visit to the state, where concerns were raised about venue accessibility and state leadership attendance. flag The government says similar initiatives began in 2013, emphasizing long-term support for marginalized groups.
