Bihar to provide ₹1,000 assistance per month to unemployed graduates, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar announced on Thursday (September 18, 2025). The support will run for two years under the ‘Mukhyamantri Nishchay Swayam Sahayta Bhatta Yojana’.
Earlier, the scheme covered only unemployed youths with intermediate-level qualifications. Now, the state government has expanded it to graduates from arts, science, and commerce. Bihar to provide ₹1,000 assistance aims to help young people manage expenses while preparing for jobs or skill training.
Nitish Kumar, in a post on X, said creating jobs and empowering youth has been his government’s top priority since 2005. He linked the announcement to the “seven resolves programme,” which focuses on employment, education, and youth development.
The Chief Minister said the scheme will give graduates financial relief as they search for opportunities. He assured that Bihar’s policies will continue to focus on youth empowerment and inclusive development.
With elections approaching, the move highlights Nitish Kumar’s strategy to connect with young voters. He emphasized that the government remains committed to bridging the gap between education and employment in the state.
