Bihar Mahila Rojgar Yojana: This year has brought great hope for millions of women in Bihar. Under the Chief Minister’s Women’s Employment Scheme, the government has taken a major step towards empowering women financially. Rural Development Minister Shravan Kumar confirmed that ₹10,000 each is being transferred to the accounts of 1 million Jeevika Didis in the state, and this amount has already reached the accounts of over 4 million women.
The government has clarified that this payment will be ensured to all eligible women by December 14, 2025. This money is being sent directly through DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer), ensuring no interruptions and ensuring the funds reach women safely.
What is the Bihar Mahila Rojgar Yojana?
Launched with the aim of empowering women financially, this scheme provides women in Bihar with initial capital to start their own small businesses. Many women aspire to earn income through small businesses like sewing, weaving, animal husbandry, grocery shopping, or handicrafts, and this scheme provides them with a solid foundation to begin.
The first installment of ₹10,000 is transferred directly to their bank account. If a woman demonstrates expertise and her business grows, she may receive additional government support of up to ₹2 lakh in the future.
This scheme not only provides employment to women but also promotes economic activity at the rural level.
