Bihar government expands CM Self-Help Allowance Scheme, offering ₹1,000 monthly financial aid to unemployed graduates for up to two years. Apply now to benefit from this youth employment support initiative.
The announcement was made on Thursday as part of Bihar’s ongoing 7 Nischay program, reflecting the state government’s commitment to youth empowerment and employment generation. Previously, the scheme provided aid only to unemployed youths with intermediate-level education, but this extension marks a key move towards inclusive support for higher-educated job seekers.
Targeting Employment for Bihar’s Youth
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar emphasized the government’s focus on creating job opportunities for Bihar’s youth, setting an ambitious goal to provide employment to 10 million young people over the next five years. Speaking about the initiative, he said, “Since the formation of the new government in 2005, we have prioritized government jobs and employment for the youth to empower them.”
This latest development comes ahead of Bihar’s upcoming assembly elections, where employment remains a central issue. The scheme aims to equip unemployed graduates with the financial backing to prepare for competitive exams and vocational training, increasing their chances of securing meaningful employment in government and private sectors.

The revised CM Self-Help Allowance Scheme targets unemployed graduates aged between 20 and 25 years who fulfill the following criteria:
Graduated in Arts, Science, or Commerce
Currently not enrolled in any educational course
Not self-employed
Not employed in government, private, or non-governmental sectors
These graduates will receive a monthly allowance of ₹1,000 for a maximum period of two years, providing financial relief as they work toward career advancement.
