Intercaste marriages can be a big step toward eliminating caste bias, ending untouchability, and spreading the world's values of freedom, equality, and brotherhood. So, the state government of Odisha has made a website called sumangal.odisha.gov.in where people can apply for an incentive to marry someone from a different caste.
Objective Of Inter Caste Marriage Scheme
Numerous objectives will be met by implementing this scheme, one of which is to create social integration and eliminate untouchability. The people will be able to overcome the superiority of the higher caste, and they will be able to move forward without even a trace of untouchability. Along with all of the other procedures, cash incentives will be provided to the people to encourage more individuals to enter into inter-caste marriages. People getting married for the first time will be allowed to use the portal's services.
CM also launched SUMANGAL Portal, developed by @stscdev, to grant incentive to inter-caste married couples under Odisha Right to Public Services Act, 2012. Applicants need to apply through https://t.co/1pNPqe6znz. #OdishaCares pic.twitter.com/gbyQbzQacy
