Chandigarh : The Haryana Cabinet, which met under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini here today, has approved amendments to the Deployment of Contractual Persons Policy, 2022, as amended from time to time.
As per the amendments, the provision related to penalties imposed by the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam Limited (HKRNL) has been deleted. The provisions regarding weightage for socio-economic criteria and experience have also been removed, in compliance with the High Court’s order quashing these provisions. Accordingly, all references to socio-economic criteria and experience have been deleted from the policy. Approval has been granted for the deployment of personnel through HKRNL in private sectors, both within India and abroad.
The Nigam will provide training to registered applicants to promote entrepreneurship in the state. The maximum age limit for Level-1 job roles has been increased from 58 to 60 years, equal to Group D employees.
The reservation roster will now be prepared indent-wise and job level-wise at the state level, instead of job role-wise. The Nigam will provide pre-departure orientation training in soft skills before candidates join an organization. Necessary provision has also been made to exclude candidates who resign voluntarily from future consideration under the policy. Employees already deployed at Level-1 will be allowed to move to higher-level job roles, provided they meet the eligibility criteria. The competent authority for compassionate deployment will now be the Chief Secretary, Haryana (in HRD).
