The Bihar Government will provide financial assistance of ₹1,000 per month to unemployed youths, who have graduate degrees, for a period of two years under 'Mukhyamantri Nishchay Swayam Sahayta Bhatta Yojana', Chief Minister Nitish Kumar announced on Thursday (September 18, 2025).

Earlier, this scheme was applicable for unemployed youths who had passed their intermediate exams only.

CM Kumar, in a post on X, said, “I am pleased to inform that under the State Government’s seven resolves programme, the previously operated ‘Mukhyamantri Nishchay Swayam Sahayta Bhatta Yojana’ has now been expanded. Under this, the benefit of the Self-Help Allowance Scheme, which was previously being provided to intermediate-passed youth, has now been extended to unemployed graduate youth who have passed in arts, science, and commerce.”
