Bihar government's Mukhyamantri Nischay Swayam Sahayata Bhatta Yojana (MNSSBY) - popularly called Bihar Berojgari Bhatta Yojana, is giving ₹1,000 per month to unemployed youth for up to 2 years while they search for a job. That is ₹24,000 in total support, sent directly to the bank account through DBT. This scheme runs under the Saat Nischay Yojana of Bihar, which focuses on youth employment and economic growth.
Originally launched on 2nd October 2016 for 12th pass youth, the Bihar government expanded this scheme in 2026 to also include graduates in Arts, Science, and Commerce. So now both 12th pass and graduation pass unemployed youth can apply and get the same ₹1,000 per month benefit.

Benefits of Berojgari Bhatta Yojana
This scheme gives more than just monthly cash support to unemployed youth in Bihar. Here is what a registered beneficiary gets:
The core benefit is ₹1,000 per month for up to 2 years, deposited directly into the bank account - a total of ₹24,000 over the full period. Along with the allowance, every beneficiary gets free skill training under the Kushal Yuva Programme (KYP) - 240 hours (3 months) of basic computer skills and language communication training conducted by Bihar's Labour Resources Department. After completing this training, a government certificate is issued, which is useful when applying for jobs. Career counselling and job guidance is also available at each district's DRCC office.
One important point: the last 5 months' allowance (₹5,000) is held back until the KYP training is completed and the certificate is submitted. So do not skip the training.
