Andhra Pradesh Launches Pro-Natalist Population Policy with Cash Incentives
Under the scheme, families will receive ₹30,000 for the birth of a third child and ₹40,000 for the birth of a fourth child.
The policy is a response to declining fertility rates and concerns regarding an aging population and a shrinking future workforce in the state.
This marks a significant departure from India's traditional population control measures, shifting focus toward achieving replacement-level fertility.
