Indian state hands out gold to newborns
The Indian state of Tamil Nadu has launched an initiative to distribute a one-gram gold ring to all newborns in government hospitals, with an estimated value of $143, aimed at boosting confidence in the public healthcare system. The initiative, led by Chief Minister Vijay, is an effort to highlight the importance of maternal and neonatal care, leveraging the cultural significance of gold in Indian society, where it is seen as a symbol of security and wealth. While some groups have welcomed the initiative, it has faced criticism from the opposition party, which emphasized that ensuring basic nutrition for families is a more important priority than distributing gold.
