Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana: Many issues often come and go in Bihar politics, but some decisions touch the hearts of the people. The results of the 2025 assembly elections once again demonstrated this emotional connection. The NDA created history by winning 202 out of 243 seats. Such a massive mandate is not achieved every time, and one of the reasons for this victory was the Nitish government’s scheme, which brought a new ray of hope and respect to the lives of millions of women.
During the auspicious days of Navratri, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave the women of Bihar a gift that created a wave of confidence across the state. Through video conferencing, PM Modi simultaneously transferred Rs 10,000 each to the accounts of 7.5 million women. This direct assistance of Rs 7,500 crore proved to be a major step in strengthening women’s self-confidence. This is why this scheme became not just financial assistance but also a key pillar of the NDA’s victory.
