Andhra Pradesh announces Rs 30,000 incentive for 3rd child, Rs 40,000 for 4th

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu announced financial incentives for families having a third child (₹30,000) and a fourth child (₹40,000) to combat declining population rates. With the state’s Total Fertility Rate at a low 1.5, Naidu aims to reverse this trend, viewing children as vital economic resources. This initiative complements existing measures to boost population growth.
