Bihar, under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, expanded the Chief Minister’s Nishchay Self Help Allowance Scheme to support unemployed graduates from Arts, Science, and Commerce streams. The scheme targets young individuals between the ages of 20 and 25 who are actively searching for jobs and are not enrolled in further studies. Beneficiaries will receive a monthly allowance of ₹1,000 for up to two years, providing crucial financial support during their job seeking phase. This initiative reflects Bihar’s commitment to empowering its youth and reducing the financial hardships faced by unemployed graduates in the state.
