---

At the National Centre RUSSIA, the Governor of the Tula Region, Dmitry Milyaev, met with residents and experts as part of the series "Platform of the Future: Region-2030. 100 Steps". The main topic of discussion was family support and the preservation of family traditions.

"The Tula region is a land of family happiness," said the governor.

According to Dmitry Milyaev, the demographic agenda is among the region’s key priorities today. 

"The priority is the family, its support and strengthening. National projects implemented across the country help regions to build development strategies. For the Tula region, this means not only new opportunities but also significant financial support," noted the governor.

Over the past eight years and eight months, more than 60,000 families in the region have benefited from government support measures. Among the new initiatives is a one-off payment of 1 million roubles for ‘early births’: the second child if the mother is under 25 and the third child if the mother is under 28. 

In addition, the region:

— provides monthly allowances for each child in large families, regardless of income;

— has a programme for mortgage repayment of up to 1 million roubles from federal and regional funds.

"Starting a family depends on many factors. But the state must provide support so that young parents feel confident and are not afraid to have children," stressed Dmitry Milyaev.

Meetings with governors are held as part of the large-scale programme of the National Centre RUSSIA — "Platform of the Future: Region-2030. 100 Steps". This programme aims to achieve national development goals and improve citizens’ quality of life.
