Remove restrictions for granting CCL

PRESS STATEMENT

The Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association, Andaman and Nicobar Islands has demanded to remove all the unwanted restrictions imposed  by the Govt. of India for grant of Child Care Leave to eligible women employees working under the  government.  In a resolution adopted in the Annual Conference of the Association held recently, the Association noted that the conditions imposed by the Govt. of India on availing the Child Care Leave viz.   to restrict the CCL on three occasions in a year,  to avail at least 15 days CCL at a time, etc., are causing  inconvenience to  women  employees.  The Association further noted that in a number of departments under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration, the Child Care Leave to eligible women employees are being denied on one reason or other.  The Association noted that it is against the very principle of allowing the Child Care Leave to women employees and demanded the Govt. of India and A & N Administration not to   put any obstructions in granting Child Care Leave to women employees.
