About the Scheme
The Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana is a Bihar government scheme launched in September 2025 to promote women's economic empowerment. Implemented through the Rural Development Department and JEEViKA (the Bihar Rural Livelihoods programme), it enables one woman per family to start a business or livelihood of her choice with government support.
The scheme's objective is to help women become financially independent by giving them the seed money to begin self-employment. Rather than a one-size-fits-all programme, it lets each woman choose the kind of enterprise or livelihood that suits her — from small trade to home-based work — and backs that choice with an initial grant.
The scheme has a wide reach. As reported, it targets more than one crore women, with the first transfers made on 26 September 2025. This scale reflects the state's intent to put money directly into the hands of women across Bihar and encourage grassroots entrepreneurship, largely working through the existing JEEViKA self-help-group network.
Benefits
The scheme provides direct financial support to help women launch and grow a livelihood:
- An initial instalment of Rs 10,000 transferred to each eligible woman to begin self-employment.
- On successful use or progress, additional assistance is reported up to Rs 2 lakh to scale the enterprise.
- The first Rs 10,000 was, as reported, auto-transferred to enrolled women.
- Please confirm the second-phase conditions and the reported Rs 2 lakh amount on the official portal.
