Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said women-centric schemes implemented by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar were inspired by those run by his government.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sarma explained how these women empowerment schemes ultimately helped influence the voters in Bihar in favour of the NDA, saying the \u201cAssam model” contributed to Nitish Kumar\u2019s victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said Assam government schemes for women empowerment and development like \u2018Lakhpati Baideo\u2019 and \u2018Sabal Mahila, Sabal Samaj\u2019, influenced the Bihar government so much that Nitish contacted him to know how to implement them in his state.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we started this scheme (Sabal Mahila, Sabal Samaj) in Behali, Nalbari, Dhekiajuli, the Bihar government also came to know about it through different media. And they wanted to know why and how we\u2019ve started these schemes, what is our motto behind it. We explained that our motto is to make every woman \u2018lakhpati baideo\u2019 (millionaire sister),” Sarma said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Accordingly, Sarma said the NDA government in Bihar started a women empowerment scheme through which it allotted Rs 1.5 crore women a sum of Rs 10,000. This effort reflected positively in recent Bihar elections, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter knowing about the scheme, they (representatives of Bihar government) were so impressed that after returning to their state, they initiated the scheme in Bihar. And today, all the national media are discussing it,” he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some other states are also interested in implementing the women welfare schemes in\u00a0 their states. \u201cRecently, two chief ministers also contacted me and inquired about the scheme. They requested me to explain to them about the scheme, so that they can also implement the scheme in their respective states,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u2018Mukhyamantri Mahila Udyamita Abhiyan\u2019 is another development scheme to empower women. The Bihar government has also adopted the idea of this scheme and implemented it in the state.<\/span><\/p>\n

The mode of payment for the scheme is through direct benefit transfer (DBT) to the beneficiary\u2019s Aadhaar-linked bank account.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what the scheme looks like:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
