Women Empowerment
Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary announced the milestone at a Mukhyamantri Mahila Rozgar Yojana programme in Patna. Financial assistance under the scheme has reached 1.81 crore women, who invested mostly in animal husbandry (about 37%), farming (about 18%) and small-scale manufacturing.
About three lakh Jeevika Didis now earn more than ₹2 lakh a year, and over 10 lakh women combine three sources of livelihood. The same day, the Chief Minister laid the foundation stone of a G+6 science block and an auditorium at Magadh Mahila College, Patna.
