Mukhyamantri Prakhand Parivahan Yojana is a Bihar government scheme giving people a cash benefit to buy a bus. The scheme helps improve transport links between blocks and remote panchayats, and it gives SC, ST, EBC, BC, and minority communities a way to start their own small transport business.
Under this scheme, eligible people get ₹5,00,000 per bus as a grant. Bihar Transport Department runs the whole rollout. The scheme was initially set to run through 2025-26 and has been extended through 2026-27. A maximum of 7 beneficiaries get picked per block, and in blocks where the ST population is over 1000, one extra spot goes to a Scheduled Tribe candidate.
