Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi interacted with beneficiaries of Bihar's Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana via videoconferencing today. 

Smt. Ranjeeta Kazi, a tribal woman beneficiary from West Champaran district of Bihar, extended heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Shri Nitish Kumar for the transformative changes brought to her region.

Associated with the Jeevika Self Help Group, she highlighted that her forested area—once deprived of basic infrastructure—now enjoys access to roads, electricity, water, sanitation, and education.

She thanked the Chief Minister for initiatives focused on women, including reservation provisions that have increased female representation in government jobs and Panchayati Raj institutions. She praised the cycle and uniform schemes, noting the pride she feels when girls ride bicycles in school uniforms.

Ranjeeta commended the Prime Minister for the Ujjwala Yojana, which has provided low-cost gas cylinders to women, freeing them from smoke-filled kitchens and improving their health. She also acknowledged the benefits of the housing scheme, under which she now resides in a pucca house.

She expressed appreciation for the Chief Minister’s recent decision to provide 125 units of free electricity and increase pensions from ₹400 to ₹1,100, which has boosted women’s confidence. Under the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana, she plans to use the initial ₹10,000 to purchase a pump set for farming jowar and bajra, and later invest ₹2 lakh to start a flour business promoting indigenous grains.
