Bhubaneswar: The Chief Minister has announced an extra 10 days of CL (casual leave) for women government employees, said reports on Monday.
Reports say that, while 15 days of casual leave is usually given to government employees it has been increased for women. As a result, women government employees can enjoy 25 days of casual leave in a year.
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has announced annual casual leave of 25 days for women employees working in various departments of the state government.
The Chief Minister has taken this decision keeping in mind the family responsibilities and various problems of women. It is worth noting that Odisha was the first state in the country to take radical steps like reserving 33% of government jobs for women in the 90s.
