Bihar Mukhyamantri Mahila Civil Seva Protsahan Yojana

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

Bihar Mukhyamantri Mahila Civil Seva Protsahan Yojana is a women empowerment initiative implemented by the Women and Child Development Corporation (WCDC), Bihar. Under this scheme, eligible women candidates who successfully clear the preliminary stage of prestigious civil services examinations conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) or the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) receive financial assistance from the Government of Bihar. The scheme aims to encourage more women to participate in civil services examinations and pursue careers in administrative services.

Under the Bihar Mukhyamantri Mahila Civil Seva Protsahan Yojana, eligible women candidates who qualify the UPSC Civil Services Preliminary Examination are provided a one-time incentive of ₹1 lakh. Similarly, women candidates who qualify for the BPSC Combined Competitive Preliminary Examination are provided a one-time incentive of ₹50,000. The financial assistance helps candidates meet expenses related to the Main Examination preparation, coaching, study materials, accommodation, and other examination-related requirements. The incentive amount is transferred directly to the beneficiary's Aadhaar-seeded bank account through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system after verification of eligibility and documents.

The scheme primarily benefits permanent resident women of Bihar who have qualified for the prescribed civil services preliminary examination. As per the latest notification issued by the Women and Child Development Corporation, eligible women candidates belonging to the General Category, Economically Weaker Section (EWS), and Backward Class categories who have qualified the BPSC Combined (Preliminary) Examination can apply for the incentive amount through the official portal. The benefit is available only once to an eligible candidate and is intended to support women aspirants in advancing to the next stages of the civil services selection process.

Apart from the Bihar Mukhyamantri Mahila Civil Seva Protsahan Yojana, the Government of Bihar also operates similar civil service incentive schemes for candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, Divyangjan (Persons with Disabilities), Backward Classes, and Extremely Backward Classes. These schemes have been introduced to provide financial support to successful civil services aspirants from different social categories and to promote inclusive representation in administrative services.

Applicants are required to submit examination-related documents, identity proof, residence certificate, bank account details, and other prescribed documents while applying.
