The decision was approved in a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav, following a proposal from the Finance Department. With this change, all employees in regular service will now be considered permanent. This move is expected to bring long-pending relief to thousands of employees across departments.

Officials said the biggest benefit will be the removal of delays in confirmation after the probation period. Employees will now receive salary increments on time. Earlier, two to five percent of staff in several departments, including the Secretariat, remained in temporary status. Due to this, they often missed opportunities for deputation, promotions, leave benefits, and postings that required a minimum of five years of regular service.

The cabinet also approved the abolition of work-charged and contingency posts in construction departments. The government stated that since most large projects are now executed through construction agencies, these posts are no longer required. Existing employees will continue until their service period ends, after which the posts will automatically lapse.

The government clarified that employee regularisation and compliance with court orders will not be affected by this decision.

Delivering the presidential address, Rajasthan’s Chief Secretary V Srinivas praised Mehta as an innovator, humanitarian, and one of the most impactful administrators in the state’s history. Srinivas said he drew inspiration from Mehta’s approach to governance, especially the way he simplified the government–citizen interface.

Sharing his administrative insights, Srinivas noted that citizens often face complex processes while dealing with the government, and simplifying these interactions has been central to his decade-long reform journey. He reiterated that “maximum governance, minimum government” aims to create digitally empowered citizens and transformed institutions—principles he learned from Mehta’s style.

Srinivas also highlighted the growing role of digital platforms and artificial intelligence in driving radical reforms. He encouraged young scholars to explore technology-driven solutions that can strengthen governance.

The event, themed around the administrative legacy of Padmashree ML Mehta, brought together leaders and experts committed to improving public service and societal impact.

According to the revised rules, the government will continue to provide 100% salary for the first 365 days of Child Care Leave. But for the remaining 365 days, employees will receive only 80% of their salary, whether the leave is taken at once or in multiple parts. The Finance Department stated that this modification aims to streamline leave benefits while maintaining administrative efficiency.

Child Care Leave is granted to women employees for the care and upbringing of their children. Earlier, both years of CCL were fully paid, and no salary reduction was implemented at any stage. With the introduction of the new provision, the financial impact on employees taking extended leave will be noticeable.

The government has confirmed that the updated Child Care Leave rules will be implemented from January 2026, giving employees time to prepare for the revised structure.
