He said that the dates have already been set to give benefits to the remaining women under this scheme. The next date has been set on October 3. Even further women who will join this scheme will also be given the benefit.
The Chief Minister said that you all know that the earlier government did not do any work. Earlier there was a very bad condition. When the NDA government was formed on November 24, 2005, we have been engaged in the development of Bihar and the state is ruled by law. All areas are growing rapidly, whether it is education, health, all work is being done. He said that from the beginning, emphasis is being laid on women empowerment in our government. In the year 2006, it was started with 50 percent reservation for women in Panchayati Raj institutions and in the year 2007 for women. Since 2013, 35 percent reservation for women was given in police service. Since 2016, women are being given 35 percent reservation in government jobs.
The Chief Minister said that earlier the number of self -help groups in Bihar was very less. In the year 2006, he formed a self -help group in the state by taking loans from the World Bank, which was named ‘Jeevika’. Now the number of self -help groups has increased to about 11 lakhs, in which the number of Jeevika Didis has increased to 1 crore 40 lakhs. Since 2024, self -help groups are being formed in urban areas, whose number has been increased to 37 thousand, in which about 3 lakh 85 thousand livelihoods have been added, the formation continues continuously.
The Chief Minister said that the Central Government is getting full support in the development of Bihar. In the Union Budget of 2024, it was announced to give a large amount for road, industry, health, tourism, flood control as special financial assistance to Bihar. Then in the Union Budget of 2025, Makhana Board in Bihar, establishment of airport, financial assistance for Western Kosi Canal etc. have been announced. Khelo India Youth Games are being organized by the Central Government in some states of the country since the year 2018. This year Khelo India Youth Games were organized in Bihar, which is a matter of pride. I salute the respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for this.
The Chief Minister said that I am confident that all mothers and sisters will use the amount being given today, will make their family happy and contribute to the development of the state and the country. To participate in this important program, I again greet the respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and thank him. Also, I thank all the dignitaries present.

We have given employment to 10 people while doing stitching work.
