Dear Sir,
Sub: Provision for granting Special
Casual Leave for the Woman employees (45 years of age and above) working
in the Central Government Organizations - reg.
The Government of India is aware that
with the increased efficiency levels among women in every walk of life,
more importantly in the Government sector, a good number of female
candidates has been joining services in various organizations of the
Central Government in different capacities at all levels ranging from
Group 'C' to Group 'A'. While many of them have been performing duties
efficiently, their physiological condition changes when they reach
certain age which is a natural phenomenon. Federation desires to bring
to your kind notice that there is need to consider granting Special
Casual Leave for the Women employees of 45 years age and above working
in the Central Government services due to the reason that they face
hormonal imbalances at the menopause stage which hampers the physical
and mental health of women. Therefore provision for granting Special
Casual Leave for those Woman employees of 45 years age and above
including those who undergo Hysterectomy Operation needs to be
considered.
NFIR, therefore, requests the Cabinet
Secretary to kindly intervene and get the matter examined for making
provision for granting Special Casual Leave to the Woman employees of
Central Government services in the above mentioned situations.
Yours faithfully,
(Dr. M. Raghavaiah)
General Secretary / NFIR &
Leader JCM (Staff Side)
