The Impact of Skill Training and Employment Generation Programs on Muslim Women in Bihar

Author(s) Nazia Rahman
Country India
Abstract Skill training and employment generation programs have emerged as critical interventions for addressing the socio-economic marginalization of Muslim women in Bihar, a state where this community constitutes approximately 17% of the population but faces low literacy rates (around 31.5% in some studies) and workforce participation (15.1%). This paper examines the impact of key initiatives such as the Bihar Skill Development Mission (BSDM), Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY), JEEViKA (Bihar Rural Livelihoods Promotion Society under NRLM), Hunar Programme, and minority-specific schemes like Nai Roshni and Seekho Aur Kamao. Drawing on secondary data from government reports, academic studies, and program evaluations, the analysis reveals initial gains in employability, income generation, and empowerment through self-help groups (SHGs) and vocational training. However, challenges including socio-cultural barriers, caste-based discrimination, low program inclusivity, salary mismatches, and high attrition rates limit long-term sustainability. The study finds mixed outcomes: short-term employment boosts of up to 29 percentage points in some programs, but near-zero sustained effects due to structural constraints. Recommendations emphasize culturally sensitive, community-led training, better rural infrastructure, and targeted monitoring for Muslim women to enhance economic independence and social inclusion.
Keywords Skill training, employment generation and women empowerment etc.
