Where Does the Revenue Go? Social Impact in Indian States

Government paper lotteries in India are designed as self-sustaining public welfare mechanisms:

• The Karunya Benevolent Fund (Kerala): Net proceeds from the Karunya lottery are transferred directly to state healthcare trusts to provide non-repayable medical subsidies for low-income citizens battling chronic illnesses, cancer, kidney failures, and cardiovascular surgeries.
• Supporting Millions of Livelihoods: Over 250,000 authorized retail agents, street vendors, and physically disabled sellers earn vital daily income through commissions and vendor incentives.
• State Infrastructure & Public Works: Non-tax lottery revenues generate thousands of crores for state treasury budgets, funding rural school upgrades, drinking water projects, and road connectivity in Northeast India.
