Contribution of the Scheme to Self-Employment and Job Creation
The 'Mukhyamantri Udyami Yojana' has played a pivotal role in eradicating the problem of unemployment in Bihar and generating new employment opportunities at the local level.
Employment at the Local Level: Establishing a new industry not only makes the selected entrepreneur the owner of their venture, but also empowers them to directly or indirectly provide employment to 4 to 10 other local youths.
Women Empowerment and Social Inclusion: Under the scheme, priority has been given to women, SC/ST, and backward class youth, leading to the rapid socio-economic upliftment of socially and economically disadvantaged sections in the state.

This practical training by the Department of Industries will not only boost the entrepreneurs' confidence, but also teach them the craft of sustaining themselves in fierce market competition. After this training camp concludes on August 11, when these entrepreneurs return to their district to establish their units, it will impart a new direction and momentum to the industrial landscape of Muzaffarpur as well as the entire state of Bihar.
