CM Nitish Kumar launched Mukhyamantri Nischay Swayam Sahayata Bhatta Yojana (MNSSBY) - commonly known as Bihar Berojgari Bhatta Yojana, on 2nd October 2016 to give financial support to educated unemployed youth in the state. Under this scheme, eligible applicants get ₹1,000 per month for up to 2 years (₹24,000 total) directly in their bank account through DBT while they search for employment. This scheme is part of the Saat Nischay Yojana under the "Aarthik Hal Yuwaon Ko Bal" commitment, and is run by the Planning and Development Department of Bihar.
Originally, this benefit was only for 12th pass (Inter) youth. From 2025, the Bihar government expanded the scheme - now graduates in Arts, Science, and Commerce who are unemployed can also apply and get the same ₹1,000 per month. All applications are done online through the official portal at 7nishchay-yuvaupmission.bihar.gov.in.

FAQ's
What is the official name of Bihar Berojgari Bhatta Yojana?
The official name is Mukhyamantri Nischay Swayam Sahayata Bhatta Yojana (MNSSBY). It is popularly called Berojgari Bhatta Yojana because it gives monthly financial support to unemployed educated youth.

Yes, it is. Within 60 days of submitting the online application, applicants must visit their nearest DRCC with original documents for physical verification. Without this, the allowance will not start.
What happens to the allowance if I get a job?
The allowance stops immediately when you get a job, start a business, or begin any form of employment. The scheme is only meant to support those who are actively searching for work.

The last 5 months' allowance - ₹5,000 - is withheld until you complete the 240-hour Kushal Yuva Programme and submit your training certificate. Skipping the training means losing out on that amount.
