As
per the existing policy, the Central Government Administrative Offices observe
up to 17 holidays in a year on specified occasions which consist of 3 National
Holidays (on 26th January, 15th August and 2nd October) and 14 other holidays
to celebrate festivals of different regions/religion in a diverse country like
India.
At
present there is no proposal under consideration of the Government to curtail
the public holidays for government employees.
This
was stated by the Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and
Pensions and Minister of State in Prime Minister’s office Dr. Jitendra Singh in
a written reply to a question by Shri S. Thangavelu in the Rajya Sabha today.
