The Modi government has taken an important decision for government employees. Now, government employees can take 30 days of leave for a special reason.
If you are a central government employee and are worried about taking care of your elderly parents, there is good news for you. The government has now given big relief. You can take 30 days of leave to take care of your parents.
Union Minister of State for Personnel, Dr. Jitendra Singh, informed in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday that central government employees can take 30 days of Earned Leave. During this time, they can take care of their elderly parents or complete other important personal work.
Leave Rules for Central Government Workers
Dr. Jitendra Singh said that under the Central Civil Services (Leave) Rules, 1972, a central government worker gets 30 days of earned leave, 20 days of half-pay leave, 8 days of casual leave, and 2 days of restricted holidays every year. These leaves can be used for personal reasons, like taking care of old parents.
No Special Leave for Taking Care of Parents
When someone asked if there is any special leave to take care of old parents, Dr. Singh said no. He said there is no need for extra leave because the leaves already given are enough for such work.
India is Making Small Modular Reactors
Dr. Jitendra Singh also said that India is working on three types of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). One of these reactors will help make hydrogen. This new technology can help solve the energy problem in the future. It will also help India become strong and self-reliant in the energy field.
