A farmer in Karnataka has appealed to Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, requesting the state government to introduce a scheme that would assist unmarried men in finding brides.
A farmer from Karnataka approached the state’s chief minister, DK Shivakumar, urging the launch of a dedicated programme to help single men locate suitable brides.
The farmer said that a growing number of unmarried men in rural areas face social and economic pressures, and a government‑backed matchmaking initiative could ease their situation. He suggested that the scheme could provide counseling, financial assistance for marriage expenses, and a platform to connect eligible families.
The appeal was made during a recent visit to the CM’s office, where the farmer highlighted the lack of existing support mechanisms. The state government has not yet responded publicly to the proposal.
The request adds to ongoing debates in Karnataka about demographic imbalances and the role of public schemes in personal matters.
