Government Scheme: Several schemes are being run in different states of India for the empowerment of women. In this direction, the Bihar government has launched the Chief Minister Women’s Employment Scheme, which aims to make women economically strong through self-employment. Under this scheme, women are provided financial assistance to start their own small businesses.

The state government aims to provide employment opportunities to at least one woman in every family so that she can become self-reliant. Under this scheme, financial assistance is sent directly to the bank account to maintain transparency and ensure that beneficiaries receive the full benefit.

How much financial assistance is provided under the scheme?

Under the Chief Minister’s Women’s Employment Scheme, women are initially given a first installment of Rs 10,000. This amount helps women start small-scale businesses.

If a woman successfully starts her business and runs it for at least six months, she may be given further financial assistance. This assistance can be up to a maximum of Rs 2 lakh, based on need and business evaluation.

The main objective of the scheme

The objective of this scheme is to make women self-reliant and provide them with new employment opportunities. The government wants to promote women’s entrepreneurship so that women in both rural and urban areas can become economically strong.

The government is also working on plans to provide women with training and opportunities to connect with the market, along with starting their businesses, to help them sell their products.

Which women will benefit from the scheme?

This scheme primarily benefits women who are permanent residents of Bihar. The applicant woman should generally be between 18 and 60 years of age.

In addition, the benefit is given only to women who are associated with the Jeevika Self-Help Group. Only one woman from a family is eligible for this scheme.

How to complete the application process

The application process for the scheme has been kept simple so that as many women as possible can benefit from it. Applications are usually submitted through the Jeevika network or the relevant portal.

When applying, it is necessary to provide your mobile number, Aadhaar number, bank account details, and information about the business you intend to start. Along with the application, documents proving identity and residency must also be submitted. Once the application is approved, the funds are transferred directly to the bank account.

Impact of the scheme on women

This scheme is considered a significant step towards making women financially independent. A large number of women have already benefited from this scheme, and the government aims to extend its reach to as many families as possible.

According to some reports, millions of women have received financial assistance under this scheme, which has helped increase their family income.
