Aizawl (Mizoram) – Mizoram Sports Minister Robert Romawia Royte has announced a cash incentive of ₹ 1 lakh to a living parent with the highest number of children in his constituency to encourage population growth among the demographically small Mizo communities. However, he did not mention the minimum number of children required to be eligible for the incentive. Mr Royte made announcement on 20th June, on the occasion of Father’s Day.
