Bihar government is committed to extend assistance to women under the MMRY to make them economically independent. Women engaged in agriculture, dairy, or other small businesses are expected to benefit the most.

MMRY Budgetary Provision

The MMRY is one of Bihar's most ambitious and popular schemes. The second supplementary budget of ₹91,000 crore, presented in December 2025 by the new NDA government, allocated ₹21,000 crore specifically for MMRY.

Himanshu Sharma, CEO of the Jeevika programme (Bihar Rural Livelihoods Promotion Society), said: "The second installment of up to ₹2 lakh will be given to eligible women and small groups who have shown promising business models. Disbursements will start from April in a phase-wise manner."
