The BJP Government in Assam has decided that no government jobs will be given to persons having more than two children after January 01, 2021.
According to a State Government communique, those having more than two children will not be considered for government jobs as per the small family norm.
The State Assembly had two years ago passed the ‘Population and Women Empowerment Policy of Assam’ seeking to encourage small family.
Apart from specifying that candidates with two children only would be eligible for state government jobs, the policy warranted that existing government employees should strictly follow the two-child norm.
“Implementing the population policy was necessary, given the pressure on land and resources in Assam. Providing land to the landless was also one of our commitments,” a Minister told reporters after the Cabinet meeting.
