In a series of progressive moves aimed at empowering the youth, preserving cultural heritage, and extending welfare support, the Bihar Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, recently approved several landmark schemes. These initiatives reflect the state government's commitment to inclusive development and cultural enrichment. Here’s a detailed look at the major schemes approved:
To address youth unemployment and enhance industry readiness, the Bihar government launched the Mukhya Mantri Pratigya Scheme (Bihar Internship Scheme). This scheme offers financial assistance to young individuals for undertaking internship programs after clearing their Class 12 board exams.
To support veteran artists and preserve Bihar’s traditional visual and performing arts, the government approved the Mukhya Mantri Kalakar Pension Yojana.
To conserve and promote endangered art forms, the Guru-Shishya Parampara Yojana will facilitate a traditional mentorship program where seasoned artists (gurus) train young talent.
The Cabinet decided to extend the benefits of the Chief Minister’s Medical Aid Fund to elected Panchayati Raj representatives.
The Cabinet also approved rules to support retired chief justices and high court judges through the Retired Chief Justices and Judges Domestic Help Rule and Other Benefits Rules, 2025.
These schemes reflect a holistic approach by the Bihar government — from empowering youth through internships to supporting veteran artists and public representatives. With an emphasis on education, health, culture, and social welfare, these initiatives aim to build a more inclusive, skilled, and culturally vibrant Bihar.
