💨 Abstract

The Himachal Pradesh government has notified rules to provide child-care leaves for mothers caring for disabled children, following a Supreme Court directive. The amendment aligns with the Central Civil Services (Leave) Rules and was prompted by a plea from an assistant professor whose son has a rare genetic disorder. The new rules permit female government servants to take up to 730 days of leave to care for children with a minimum disability of 40%.
