Is this leave applicable for female Contractual Govt. Employees under MGNREGS?Kindly reply at the earliest..
If Admin is not knowing any thing about the CCL of teachers of govt.aided school then he should not publish it.I think this is dictator rule.Whatever the govt. is wanting ,doing and we are just a slave.But perhaps they forgot that after 4 years where they will go?ELECTION!This is most shameless thing that we are seeing.MA.MATI,MAnus only promises.Nothing is fullfilled.
WEST BENGAL, The Most Worse state,
is this leave related with other leave like EL or not?Kindly reply at the earliest..
govt aided school mistress of w.b will get these facilities?
I AM A NURSE OF GOVT. HOSPITAL. MY DAUGHTER IS10YEARS OLD.CAN I GET THIS “CCL”. PLEASE REPLY SOON
when the question of without pay against 28th feb matter came, the school teachers are considered to stand in the same row of govt. employees as they are getting salary and pension by the govt. so.. where shall we have to stand regarding ccl matter? is this called fair administration?
My child is 5 years old ,I am working as Health Assistant(Female). Can I avail the CCL.
The incomplete and biased G.O on CCL creats many a complaints ,grudge & anger. Then why are you not taking this to CM’s ear?
Why it is for only state govt Employee and not for undertaking or school teacher ?
why this differ ? I think child deserves their mothercare in any ocation..
So it should be applicable for school teacher/undertaking/ also it should be applicable for private concern..
News– Teachers have filed a case in the court and stay order for CCL of the govt employees also. Don’t know the authentication of the news. If any anybody s aware of the fact plese let us know.
If the govt.order had been passed for 2 yrs. CCL? And will a female teacher of govt. Sponser school get the facilities? What will be the procedure?
CCL was announced in line with recommendation of The Sixth State Pay Commission Report. All West Bengal Govt. aided school teachers also come within the ambit of The Sixth State Pay Commission recommendations and their Pay is determined accordingly. Therefore, it is natural that Govt. aided school teachers will be eligible for CCL. The WB Govt. should issue the appropriate Govt. Notification soonest because one 57 year old Govt. aided School Teacher with a sick 16 year old son is keenly waiting to avail this leave.She has exhausted all her leave.CCL is very much needed by her. There may be other mothers in similar circumstances. Will the Honourable Chief Minister kindly approve and grant CCL
to WB Govt. Aided School Teachers, please?
It should be extended by govt. but spell should be minimum 90 days so that teachers in leave vacancy may be appointed by school … my personal feelings. and i don’t know whether Govt. will provide similar facility to teachers or not. (e.g. Child Adoption Leave).
Is the rule applicable for Govt. aided school teachers? From which date they can enjoy?
upto now no…why you can not write letter to CM, secondery eduction dept instead of writing here…also you can make a court case…..i have already done….if many people do this, govt will publish order for school teacher also….
I request admin to reply to my comment of March22, 2012 soonest.
iam working in a primary school please reply that can i take ccl
sir, I have continuing maternity leave for 5 months. can i get ccl after completion my maternity leave? how many maximum days i can get ccl in a slot?
I have written to respected honourable Chief Minister of West Bengal today regarding extension of CCL facilities to Teachers of Govt. Aided Schools in West Bengal by e-mail ( cm-wb@nic.in ). Others may also write to her directly.
I have written to Vikram Sen, IAS, who is Secretary of School, yesterday, regarding extension of CCL facilities to Teachers of Govt. Aided Schools in West Bengal by e-mail ( secschool@wb.gov.in ). Others may also write to him
directly.

My wife is a direct Govt.employee under the Govt.of West Bengal.She applied for the child care leave
for our daughter’s Exams.But the local Authority is refusing to sanction the leave giving reason that
the ‘rule’ has not yet given clearance from the Finance Deptt. is it true?
Is the local authority can refuse the application for the leave ?

please reply soon. thanks
can a person proceed for the leave by just intimating to the authority and before getting the approval from the sanctioning authority?
it appears that in ccl, sanctioning procedure of EL applies,but if the child becomes sick suddenly,how can an employee follow the procedure of EL by informing/applying for leave beforehand,getting approval and then proceed on CCL?further,if for the same ground,concerned authority denies to sanction the leave,what the employee should do?
is ccl applicable for govt. contractual employee? Please admin, reply as soon as possile.
