Prime Minister Narendra Modi will initiate Bihar's Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana through video conference Friday morning at eleven. The program distributes Rs 10,000 directly to seventy-five lakh women across the state. This first phase releases Rs 7,500 crore into beneficiary accounts. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar originally announced this universal assistance program.

The scheme targets one female per household to promote self-employment ventures. Recipients receive initial grants of Rs 10,000 with potential additional support reaching Rs 2 lakh after six-month evaluations. Community resource persons from self-help groups will provide business training and skill development. Enhanced rural markets will help women sell their products.

This women's empowerment initiative arrives before upcoming assembly elections where the NDA confronts the Grand Alliance. Bihar's Cabinet approved the scheme in August 2024 during a meeting led by Kumar. The program seeks to establish financial independence among women through entrepreneurship opportunities. Political observers view this as strategic voter outreach before high-stakes polling begins.
