CHANDIGARH, JUNE 13
The Haryana Government has decided to grant maternity leave of up to 45 days to married girls studying in universities and colleges in the State to enable them to complete their education without any gap or hindrance. The Chief Minister, Mr Manohar Lal, had approved draft guidelines to this effect.
Giving details, Haryana Education Minister, Mr Ram Bilas Sharma said that according to the guidelines, women students would be entitled to avail themselves of maternity leave for a period not exceeding 45 days continuously in a single stretch, with prior permission of chairperson of the department concerned on production of valid medical certificate.
He said that maternity leave to women students would be granted by the competent authority with the condition that if the women students avail the maternity leave upto 45 days on the recommendation of government hospital authorities as applicable as per prescribed rules in the case of government women employees, then the women students would have to attend the extra classes as per the requirement of attendance for the specified course or professional or research programme. The leave period would be excluded from the total lectures delivered during the semester, but the student concerned has to appear in all minor and major examinations as per the schedule notified by the department or university, he added.
The Minister said that however, if desired, the student may drop one full semester but she would have to complete attendance of that drop-out semester after appearing in the final semester examination, and would have to appear in the drop-out semester examinations according to the even and odd semester policy. In such cases, she would not be required to pay the re-admission fee and the entire semester fee, if she has already paid the drop-out semester fee, to complete attendance of the drop-out semester, he further added.
