Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu launched a welfare scheme that provides Rs 75,000 to those SC/ST brides who marry a groom from a different caste.
Brides from Other Backward Classes (OBC) will get Rs 50,000 for similar intercaste marriages.
Further, the SC/ST brides will get Rs 40,000 if they marry a groom within their own community and OBC brides will get Rs 30,000 for the same purpose.
