💨 Abstract

The Sikkim government has launched a 'Sabbatical Leave' scheme for its employees to foster work productivity and personal/professional growth. Employees can take extended leave for personal or professional pursuits without a service break, and may pursue further studies or specialized training. The scheme allows temporary employees to apply for a sabbatical after six months of service, while the heads of departments and the secretary of the Department of Personnel are the approving authorities for different employee groups.
