In some very heartening news for central government employees, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) of the central government has made some major reform moves that will make the benefit even more lucrative for staffers, even in terms of salary. Male employees of the government have Child Care Leave (CCL). Orders regarding this had been issued quite some time back, Union Minister Jitendra Singh pointed out, but for some reason, it did not receive enough circulation in the public. He was speaking late on Monday.  Singh dubbed it a path-breaking and progressive reform to bring ease of living for government servants. To this benefit, more features have been added that would help central government employees immensely.

Who will benefit and how CCL can be availed? 

*The provision and privilege of CCL were made available only for "single male parent", 

* It includes male employees, who are widowers or divorcees or even unmarried. 

* Now, an employee on CCL has even been allowed to leave the headquarter with the prior approval of competent authority.  

* The reform initiative also allows these employees to avail Leave Travel Concession (LTC) even if he is on Child Care Leave.  

* CCL can be granted at 100 per cent of leave salary for the first 365 days and 80 per cent of leave pay for the next 365 days.
