The proceeds from sale of tickets of the draw would be utilised for giving Rs 30,000 for wedding of girls from BPL families and also for those from APL families with an annual income not exceeding Rs one lakh
The lottery is linked to the 'Mangalyanidhi' scheme proposed in the state budget in 2013, which mooted to mop up funds by imposing a cess on the wedding halls
The Social Welfare Department will be the nodal agency for implementing the scheme and district level committees chaired by Collectors to select beneficiaries
