India, Sept. 18 -- Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday announced plans to expand the CM Self-Help Allowance Scheme, already in place under the state government's 'Saat Nischay' (7 resolutions) programme for unemployed graduate youths.

"Under this Self-Help Allowance Scheme, previously offered to Intermediate-graded youth, has now been extended to unemployed graduates in Arts, Science, and Commerce. Graduates in the age group of 20-25 years, who are not studying and are seeking employment, are not self-employed, or are not employed in any government, private, or non-government sector, will also receive the Chief Minister's Self-Help Allowance at the rate of Rs.1,000 per month for a maximum of two years," Kumar posted on X.
