Itanagar
Keeping his intentions straight and clear that welfare of people would come first in his government, the first file Chief Minister Pema Khandu signed today morning after assuming office was of extending maternity leave and child care leave benefits to female contingency and contractual staffs of Government of Arunachal Pradesh.
It may be mentioned that the maternity and child care leave was only given to regular government employees in Arunachal and the contingency and contractual staff were debarred of these benefits.
Considering genuineness of the case, the CM cleared the file under which the Contingency and Contractual female staff serving in various capacities in Government of Arunachal Pradesh will now get 180 days of maternity benefit and 60 days of Child Care Leave.
This decision of the Khandu government will benefit aproximately 20 thousand plus female contingency and contractual employees spread across the state in various departments.
Thanks to honourable CM Pema Khandu ji.Many a times I too had tried to raise my voice for this cause,but all my cries went to deaf ears.
This act of khandu ji is highly appreciated.This provision will provide relief and boost the morale of female employees in the state.
