To avail of the scheme, applicants must be permanent residents of Bihar. The minimum educational qualification is 10+2, Intermediate, ITI, Polytechnic Diploma, or equivalent. Only women between the ages of 18 and 60 are eligible for this scheme. No member of the applicant's family should be in a government job.
Hope that mothers and sisters will make good use of the funds - CM Nitish
At the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana event, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said, "I am confident that mothers and sisters will make good use of the funds being provided today.

But we don't care about family; we work for the entire Bihar."
