West Bengal Scheduled Castes Development & Finance Corporation, got its present incarnation as “West Bengal Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes Development & Finance Corporation” (WBSCSTOBCDFC) when two amendments of the Act during 1980 and 1981 increased its operational scope by bringing the development of tribal people especially those who are living below the poverty line (BPL) within its ambit. Backward Classes Welfare Department of the State Government exercises administrative control over the Corporation.
The Corporation offers a bouquet of schemes to the target group to fulfill the mandate of creating an alternative source of income through small and medium economic activities. Finances are made available to individuals or to groups, in comparatively soft terms along with admissible subsidy and margin money. Thus, a large section of marginalized people of rural Bengal is covered by institutional credit by the Corporation.
