These changes are effective immediately. Previously, the plan was to implement the increased Rs 1 lakh assistance from April 1. With the wedding season approaching, the Social Welfare Department had proposed a distribution of Rs. 75,000 to the bride's account, Rs 15,000 for gifts, and Rs 10,000 for wedding expenses. 

The Chief Minister revised this proposal to the current distribution. The Chief Minister also reviewed the old-age pension scheme and instructed officials to ensure full coverage of eligible senior citizens. He suggested linking the scheme with the Family ID to streamline the process and ensure timely disbursement of pensions.
