MP Considers Lifting Two-Child Policy for Staff
The Madhya Pradesh government is thinking about removing a rule that limits government employees to having only two children.
This rule has been in place since 2001.
The idea came after talking to senior officials for three months.
The proposal needs approval from the chief minister's office and then the state cabinet.
Nearby states like Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh have already removed similar rules in 2016 and 2017.
Madhya Pradesh government is considering lifting the two-child restriction for its staff.
Proposal sent to the chief minister's secretariat for clearance after three months of discussions.
The two-child restriction was imposed in 2001.
Neighboring states Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh lifted similar restrictions in 2016 and 2017.
The proposal will be put before the state cabinet for approval after the chief minister's secretariat clears it.
