A unique public awareness drive in Mysuru has gone viral amid rising prices of milk and curd in Karnataka. Pragnavanta Vedike (an organisation that works to raise issues that affect the public) gave packets of milk and curd as gifts to newly married Manju and Ananya.
The unusual wedding gift was meant to communicate that affordable dairy products are needed in everyday life. At a time when households are facing rising living costs, the organisation wanted to show how even food items that are essential for survival are becoming an additional cost (especially for poorer sections).
Instead of buying conventional wedding gifts the organisation used packets of milk and curd to draw attention to it. The aim was to get people talking about how price increases affect ordinary families and to urge the government to take it seriously.
Why Did the Organisation Gift Milk and Curd?
Milk and curd are not only food products but an integral part of everyday household consumption — families from all economic backgrounds use them regularly; they are part of daily meals.
Milk is an important item for many households (children, elderly family members, etc.) and regular cooking needs. Curd is also part of everyday meals in Karnataka.
The organisation says that price increases of these products “directly impact household budgets”. Families on low incomes may find it harder to manage their regular expenses if the cost of basic food items goes up.
By giving Manju and Ananya milk and curd packets, the organisation tried to turn a social occasion into an opportunity to talk about this problem.
Newlyweds Manju and Ananya Receive Unusual Wedding Gift
The newly married couple Manju and Ananya became part of the awareness initiative when representatives of Pragnavanta Vedike gave them packets of milk and curd.
It wasn’t a wedding present — a symbolic gift. With this gesture, the organisation wanted to show how important dairy products are every day and what families have to go through financially when prices rise.
The initiative also raised awareness that people at different stages of life (young couples starting their household journey) are affected by rising prices of essential commodities.
Newweds setting up a new home need to take into account monthly expenses. The organisation used that occasion to highlight affordable everyday stuff.

Rising Dairy Prices and the Burden on Common People
Milk and curd are among the most frequently purchased food products in Karnataka. The prices of these products directly affect the monthly spending of households (particularly families who buy them regularly).
Even a small rise in the price of a product used daily can mount up over weeks and months. For lower-income families, these extra costs put further pressure on budgets already hit by food, transport, education and other household costs.
Pragnavanta Vedike has said that higher milk prices could put economically weaker sections under more financial pressure. The organisation wants the concern to be made more visible through a simple but memorable public gesture.
Organisation Urges Government to Take the Issue Seriously
Through the awareness campaign, Pragnavanta Vedike has urged the government to take into consideration the impact of the milk and curd price hike on ordinary consumers.
The message of the organisation is that essential food products should remain affordable for all sections of society. It wants policymakers to see how families who get milk and curd as part of their daily diet are struggling.
The initiative in Mysuru is interesting because it uses a wedding gift to raise public awareness of something bigger — instead of a traditional gift, dairy packets have been given, and the organisation has tried to link an everyday household problem with a memorable social occasion.
The gesture has again put affordability of essential food items in focus and highlighted how price changes affect ordinary families across Karnataka.
