Women in Bihar welcomed a state employment program on Friday that provides financial assistance for entrepreneurial ventures. The Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana delivers 10,000 rupees through direct transfer to help recipients establish small businesses in sectors such as tailoring, handicrafts, and agriculture. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the initiative, and the state government plans to distribute up to 2 lakh rupees in subsequent phases.
Beneficiaries reported using the funds to start photocopying services, sell textile supplies, and reduce financial dependence on family members. The program targets one woman per eligible household and offers training through Self Help Group representatives. State officials organized celebrations across districts for the launch, and more than 1 crore women registered for participation in the program.
