The Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana 2025 is a landmark initiative launched by the Bihar Government, with support from the Central Government, to empower women through self-employment. Launched officially on September 26, 2025, this scheme aims to make women ‘Aatmanirbhar’ (self-reliant) by providing direct financial assistance. Under this scheme, eligible women receive an initial grant of ₹10,000 to start a small business, with the potential to avail up to ₹2 Lakh for business expansion based on performance.
Implemented through the Bihar Rural Livelihoods Promotion Society (Jeevika), the scheme targets women associated with Self-Help Groups (SHGs). It is designed to foster entrepreneurship in rural and urban areas by supporting activities like tailoring, animal husbandry, handicrafts, and small-scale manufacturing.
