As around 1.5 lakh people are expected to attend the launch of Gruha Lakshmi, one of the guarantees of the Congress government, in Mysuru on August 30, the Mysuru district administration is overseeing the arrangements for the inaugural event.
According to officials, the beneficiaries of Gruha Lakshmi from Mysuru, Mandya, Chamarajanagar, and Kodagu, who have enrolled under the scheme that offers a sum of ₹2,000 a month (to the woman head in the family), would be attending the event. In addition, there would be other participants, thus resulting in a large gathering of around two lakh people.
Elaborate arrangements are being done at the Maharaja College Grounds where a mega stage is being built since Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjuna Kharge, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, will participate.
