NEW DELHI: Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Monday said male Government employees who are single parents are now entitled to child care leave.
“Single male parent” includes employees who are unmarried or widower or divorcee and may therefore be expected to take up the responsibility of caring for a child single-handedly, he said.
Describing it as a path-breaking and progressive reform to bring ease of living for Government servants, Singh said orders regarding the decision were issued quite some time back but somehow did not get enough traction in public domain. (AGENCIES)
