The program provides an initial grant of Rs 10,000, with the potential for additional financial support up to Rs 2 lakh. The funds can be utilized in diverse sectors such as agriculture, animal husbandry, and small-scale enterprises. Community resource persons from Self Help Groups will offer training, and Gramin Haat-Bazaars will be developed to facilitate the sale of products. The launch of the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana featured a widespread program across multiple administrative levels, reaching over 1 crore women.
