I am working as Govt. Degree College Lecturer in Andhra Pradesh. Can I eligible for CCL.
Madam kindly make this leave as Family Care Leave and the condition of leave granting CCL for 730 days to the mothers whose children are below 18 years may please be deleted and this leave may be given to all junior and senior central govt. women employees and they can avail this leave in their whole service period or till retirement so that all women employees can be benefited with this leave as senior women employees have also wasted their ELs in bringing up their children and when children are at the age when they are marriageable or having problems in higher studies and settling their careers mothers need leave. With granting this leave women can take care of their in-laws, husband and children. With the CCL now given, only children can be taken care of and we can not take leave for our in laws and husband.
Respected madam, it is a sincere prayer from the hearts of all other women govt. employees whose children were of 16 years or above in age when this ccl order came into force and they had to depend on their E/L in their board exams because of the confusion over the condition that they have to exhaust their E/L before availing their ccl. Madam there is no denying the fact that no matter how small or young are the children and how much a lady earns her foremost duty towards her family remain the same and cannot be ignored especially in times of stiff competition. Children are facing a lot of stress and not all the children are born prodigies and hence have to be admitted in colleges outside Delhi and have to stay in hostels. At this juncture they need their mothers the most. Being a lady, madam, we hope you will understand the pain and guilt the mothers have to go through. Madam we do not know whether we will be able to convince you or not but we are hoping that a favourable decision of granting this ccl to all the women employees who have been deprived of such facility with a condition to exhaust it in their service period will be taken soon. Thanking you sincerely and heartily,
