Big Win for the Differently-Abled: Marriage Grant Doubled to ₹2 Lakh!

In a major move aimed at promoting the welfare and social security of persons with disabilities , the Telangana government has announced a key decision to increase the marriage incentive for differently-abled individuals. The incentive, previously set at ₹1 lakh, has now been raised to ₹2 lakhs.

The government recognized that the earlier assistance was insufficient and decided to enhance financial support to ensure greater security for the future of persons with disabilities. The orders were issued by Anita Ramachandran, Secretary of the Welfare Department for Persons with Disabilities. According to the orders, the ₹2 lakh aid will be provided in the name of the wife.

This initiative is part of the government’s broader objective to ensure that persons with disabilities live in society with equal rights and dignity . By reducing the financial burden during marriage and providing support to families, the increase is intended to promote social inclusion and empowerment .

The latest decision underscores the government’s continued commitment to the welfare of persons with disabilities and reflects its proactive approach toward building a more inclusive society .
