GAD-Special dispensation for providing compassionate employment to the eligible dependents of deceased Government employees who succumbed to Covid-19 while in harness, in the Village and ward Secretariats- orders issued.
In the G.O. first read above permanent relief to the deserving bereaved members of the family of the deceased Government servant has been provided by appointing the spouse of a deceased Government or the dependent children of the deceased Government servant who died in harness, as a social security measure without reference to Employment Exchange. Such appointments should be to the categories of posts whose pay is equal to or less than that of L.D.C., subject to fulfilling certain conditions mentioned therein. In the memo second read above, certain clarifications were issued regarding the eligibility of the candidates who apply for appointment under this Social Security Scheme. In the Memo third read above, it has been made clear that request for compassionate appointments in cases which violate the conditions stipulated in the scheme should not be entertained, as indiscriminate compassionate appointments in the cases of the dependents of the deceased Government servants who die in harness will deprive other equally deserving poor families in securing jobs. In the Memo fourth read above, instructions were issued to consider the dependents of the deceased Government Servants for appointment in the office in which the deceased was working or in any other office under the administrative control of that Department, if there is no vacancy in the former.
