New Mangalya Lottery To Be Added in Kerala Lottery

Thiruvananthapuram
Kerala Cabinet on Wednesday decided to launch ‘Mangalya Lottery’ to finance assistance for marriage of poor girls under the Mangalya Nidhi Scheme.
Chief Minister Oommen Chandy told the media after the Cabinet meeting that an existing government weekly lottery would be renamed as Mangalya lottery for the purpose. Families living below the poverty line as well as families with income of less than Rs. 1 lakh a year would be eligible for the one time assistance of Rs. 30,000 from the Nidhi.
He said that the lottery scheme was proposed in the Budget as the amount collected from cess on rental of Kalyanamandapams was inadequate to finance the Nidhi. The Social Welfare Department would be the nodal agency for the Scheme. A committee chaired by district collectors would choose the beneficiaries. The complaint that even BPL families had to pay the cess would be looked into.
