Women Empowerment
The Mukhyamantri Mahila Rozgar Yojana aims to reach about 1.81 crore women. After a first payment of ₹10,000 — used for grocery shops, goat rearing, tailoring and more — women who keep their business going receive ₹20,000, ₹40,000 and ₹80,000 in further stages, adding a share of their own savings each time, and ₹60,000 more for branding, packaging and marketing.
Jeevika verifies that each business is running before releasing the next instalment, and exceptional performers can receive a lump sum of up to ₹2 lakh on a state committee's recommendation.
