The transcript details the significant contributions of women to Bihar’s development across various sectors. Discussions highlighted the empowering impact of initiatives like Jeevika, which has mobilised 1.4 crore women into 11 lakh self-help groups. These groups foster micro-enterprises through responsible lending, boasting a remarkable 99.5% repayment rate. The average monthly income for participants in a key Jeevika scheme surged from Rs. 3,000 to over Rs. 15,000. Women are pivotal in the livestock and fisheries sectors, forming over 7,000 women-led dairy cooperatives. Social transformations include a 30% female representation in the police force, making Bihar a national leader, and 50% reservation in Panchayati Raj institutions, with actual representation exceeding 60%. Government interventions, such as cycle schemes and school toilets, have dramatically increased girls’ education enrollment and reduced child marriage, consequently lowering the Total Fertility Rate. This collective effort signifies a profound socio-economic revolution in the state, driven by women’s entrepreneurship and participation.
