In another major boost to women’s economic empowerment, the Government of Bihar has transferred the third installment of the Chief Minister Mahila Rojgar Yojana (CMWREY). On October 6, 2025, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar released ₹2,100 crore via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to the accounts of 21 lakh women across the state. Each beneficiary received ₹10,000, aimed at helping women start or expand self-employment ventures.

The scheme, which was launched earlier this year, is a cornerstone of Bihar’s mission to make women financially self-reliant through livelihood support, entrepreneurship, and skill-based opportunities.

Third Installment Released to 21 Lakh Beneficiaries

The third phase of payment comes shortly after the successful completion of the first two rounds:

• The first installment was released on September 26, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi credited ₹10,000 each to 75 lakh women under the initiative.

• The second installment, released on October 3, benefitted 25 lakh women in Bihar.

• With this third installment, another 21 lakh women have now received their payments.

So far, 1.21 crore women across the state have received financial assistance, while a total of 1.4 crore women had registered for the scheme. The government continues to process applications and release payments in phased batches.
