Status evidence

Likely active

Likely active — the BSMFC RTI reply (dated 24 Jul 2026) shows training batches running into FY2024-25 (951 trainees, certification/assessment ongoing), on top of FY2021-22 and FY2022-23 batches. No current-FY state budget line was confirmed from budget.bihar.gov.in, so status is likely_active rather than active. Distinct from the loan-only 'Bihar Alpsankhyak Rozgar Rin' already in catalogue. Verified 2026-07-24.
