Up to Rs 2 lakh business-expansion grant for women entrepreneurs (second phase of Mahila Rozgar Yojana)
CM Nitish Kumar launched the second phase on 29 January 2026, offering up to Rs 2 lakh in additional grant; it is disbursed in phases only to beneficiaries who demonstrate that the initial Rs 10,000 was used to run a viable business, so rollout is conditional and ongoing rather than universal.
