The Chief Minister said that when we were ministers in the Central Government, we saw the work of self-help groups at many places outside but at that time there was nothing like this in Bihar. When I got a chance to work in Bihar, in the year 2006, we took a loan from the World Bank and formed a self-help group and named it 'Jeevika'. We named the women who joined it as 'Jeevika Didi'. The central government of that time appreciated its work and started it in the whole country under the name of Ajeevika. Jeevika didis have gained a lot of confidence and there has been a lot of change in their speech, lifestyle and living style. Now the number of Jeevika self-help groups in Bihar has increased to 10 lakh 61 thousand, with 1 crore 31 lakh Jeevika didis associated with them.
