Madhya Pradesh Official Promises ₹1 Lakh Reward for Brahmin Couples with Four Children

Vishnu Rajoria, head of a state government board, calls for larger families to address population concerns, drawing criticism and clarifications.

Vishnu Rajoria, president of Madhya Pradesh's Parshuram Kalyan Board, announced a ₹1 lakh reward for Brahmin couples having at least four children.
Rajoria cited declining Brahmin population and concerns over demographic shifts as reasons for his appeal during a community event in Indore.
The announcement has been criticized for contradicting Madhya Pradesh's two-child policy for government job eligibility.
Rajoria later clarified that the reward is a personal initiative and not a government-backed scheme, stating funds would be raised socially or privately.
Political opposition and critics have condemned the statement, calling it divisive and impractical in addressing broader population challenges.
