"PM Modi has implemented numerous schemes to honour women - Narendra Kashyap"

Lucknow, September 26

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to launch Bihar's Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana on Friday, Uttar Pradesh Minister Narendra Kashyap has lauded the government's initiatives empowering women.

Speaking to ANI, Narendra Kashyap said, "PM Modi has always been concerned about the development and welfare of the country, especially for empowering women. PM Modi has implemented numerous schemes to honour women, and in Bihar too, PM Modi is going to launch a scheme worth thousands of crores to empower women."

He added that the women will benefit from the scheme, and such initiatives provide an opportunity for Bihar to be included among developing states in the country.

"Surely, the women and people of Bihar will benefit from these schemes of the PM, and Bihar will also get the opportunity to be included among the main developing states of the country," the UP Minister said.

According to a press release by the PMO, PM Narendra Modi will launch Bihar's Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana via video conferencing.

During the programme, the Prime Minister will also directly transfer Rs. 10,000 each into the bank accounts of 75 lakh women across Bihar, totalling Rs. 7,500 crore.

The scheme, an initiative of the Government of Bihar, is aimed at making women Aatmanirbhar and promoting women's empowerment through self-employment and livelihood opportunities. It will provide financial assistance to one woman from each family in the state, enabling them to start employment or livelihood activities of their choice, thereby fostering economic independence and social empowerment, the press release said.

Under the scheme, each beneficiary will receive an initial grant of Rs. 10,000 via Direct Benefit Transfer, with the possibility of additional financial support of up to Rs. 2 lakh in subsequent phases. The assistance can be utilised in areas of the beneficiary's choice, including agriculture, animal husbandry, handicrafts, tailoring, weaving, and other small-scale enterprises.

The launch of the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana will feature a statewide program across multiple administrative levels in the State --district, block, cluster, and village--with over 1 crore women witnessing the programme, the PMO stated.

Direct transfer of ₹10,000 to 75 lakh women is massive! But I hope there's proper monitoring to ensure the money is used for productive purposes and not just consumed.

As someone working in rural development, I appreciate that women can choose their preferred livelihood activities. This respects their skills and local context. Well thought out scheme!

Good step, but why is a UP Minister commenting on Bihar's scheme? Shouldn't Bihar's own ministers be promoting this? Feels like political credit-taking before elections.

My didi in Bihar will benefit from this! She wants to start a small tailoring unit. ₹10,000 seed money plus potential for ₹2 lakh later is life-changing for rural women. 🇮🇳

The scheme structure looks promising with phased funding. But implementation is key - hope there's transparency in beneficiary selection and minimal corruption.
