The Bihar Government has introduced the Chief Minister Extremely Backward Classes Entrepreneurship Scheme (Mukhyamantri Ati Pichda Varg Udyami Yojana). Through this initiative, the state aims to provide financial support to help individuals launch new business ventures. This program is designed to empower members of extremely backward communities by assisting them in establishing their own enterprises. Interested applicants can review the full online application process and learn how to submit their registration forms via the startup.bihar.gov.in portal.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar launched this entrepreneurship program to support the Extremely Backward Classes (EBC). The financial aid package consists of two components: a state-provided subsidy and an interest-free loan. This new EBC scheme is modeled after the successful Bihar Chief Minister SC/ST Entrepreneurship Scheme, which was introduced two years ago.
