Bihar Empowers Women Entrepreneurs
According to the most recent statistics, there are 4.07 crore female voters in Bihar. In this regard, according to the 2025 update, 47.7 percent of voters are female. It is important to note that 59.7% of women cast ballots in the 2020 assembly elections.
Recently, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has introduced a number of initiatives that target women, young people, and the elderly. For half of the population, the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana is the most talked-about plan. This month, a woman from each home would get 10,000 rupees to launch a company of her choosing. They will get two lakh rupees after a six-month evaluation.
Women Receive ₹608 Crore
The number of women in rural and urban regions who have sought to receive the Rs 10,000 incentive is currently unknown due to a lack of unified statistics.
877 women received financial support to establish industries under the Mukhyamantri Mahila Udyami Yojana. The maximum aid amount under this policy is Rs. 10 lakh, of which 50% is a subsidy.
For this plan, women have received a total of Rs 608.91 crore so far. The government has raised Anganwadi employees’ and helpers’ honoraria. There are around 2.30 lakh of them. There is a clear advantage to this.
Youth Voters Gain Influence
In a same vein, the government raised Asha workers’ incentives. Instead of receiving one thousand rupees a month, they now get three thousand. They are over one lakh in number. In the same way, Mamta employees now get a larger reward.
The percentage of voters under 30 in Bihar is 30%, according to an analysis of the state’s youthful voter population. Among them, 8,08,857 voters are between the ages of 18 and 19, while 15,59,048 voters are between the ages of 20 and 29. For every political party, this sizable voting base has significant importance.
Youth and Seniors Supported
The young are also the focus of Nitish Kumar’s latest pronouncements. The most important of them is the pledge to employ one crore young people between 2025 and 2030. Following this, the creation of the Bihar young Commission, the Skill University, and the Internship Scheme are the primary initiatives to prepare the young for the workforce.
Under the Mukhyamantri Vridhajan Yojana, the government raised the pension amount from Rs 400 to Rs 1100. This program has so far covered 1.13 crore senior citizens. There are 3,96,5963 voters in Bihar between the ages of 70 and 79, 7,27,21325 voters between the ages of 60 and 69, and 16,07,527 votes above the age of 80.
