“Have 4 Children, Get 1 Lakh”: Madhya Pradesh Board Offer To Brahmin Couples 

The head of a Madhya Pradesh government board has announced a Rs 1 lakh award for young Brahmin couples who decide to have four children. Pandit Vishnu Rajoria is the president of Parshuram Kalyan Board and holds a state cabinet minister rank.

Addressing an event in Bhopal, Mr Rajoria said the number of “heretics” is increasing because “we have largely stopped focusing on our families”. “I have high hopes from the youngsters. We can’t expect much from the older people. Listen carefully, you are responsible for the protection of the future generation. Youngsters get settled and stop after one child. This is very problematic. I urge you to have at least four,” he said.

He then announced that the Parshuram board would give Rs 1 lakh award to couples with four children. “Whether or not I am the board president, the award will be given.”

Mr Rajoria said youngsters have often told him that education is expensive now. “Manage somehow, but don’t lag in giving birth to children. Otherwise, heretics will capture this country.”
