Details
For the dedicated handloom weavers of Odisha, a helping hand is here through the Mukhyamantri Bayan Jyoti Yojana (MBJY). This scheme, rolled out under the Chief Minister's Special Package, is designed to make working conditions better and boost productivity for these artisans.
What Is This Scheme?
The Mukhyamantri Bayan Jyoti Yojana (MBJY) focuses on providing weavers with better illumination at their workplaces. It ensures they can work smoothly even when electricity is unstable, reduces physical strain, and ultimately helps them earn more by improving their work efficiency.

This scheme is specifically for genuine handloom weavers and full-time workers involved in ancillary activities related to handloom. If you are a permanent resident of Odisha and your family's annual income is ₹3,00,000 or less, with at least half of that income coming from weaving, you might be eligible. The scheme also requires you to buy your lighting unit from a GST-registered dealer.
Why This Scheme Is Important
In the weaving community, good working conditions can make a huge difference.
