    Assam: Soon, those with 2+ kids won't get government jobs
  • The Assam government, run by BJP, has come up with a new plan to keep a check on population.

    Late on Monday, the state government passed a rule that those with more than two kids will not be eligible for government jobs. This new diktat will be effective from January 1, 2021.

    In fact, in-service employees have also been urged to follow this policy.

    Two years ago, Assam Assembly passed a resolution
  • The new policy finds its roots in a resolution called "Population and Women Empowerment Policy of Assam" which was passed by the state Assembly in 2017 after a marathon debate.

    Introducing the resolution in the Assembly, state minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had said it would promote safe motherhood, help in achieving gender equality, and increase awareness about population.

  • Looking back

    The policy also put restrictions on elected representatives

  • Notably, the policy also barred those having more than two kids from being elected to panchayats and state assembly.

    "In case any MLA from state flouts the family planning norms i.e MLAS having more than two children may be disqualified from his/her membership and be debarred from contesting polls," Sarma had said, adding those following family planning norms will be incentivized.

    The government has decided that it will give three bighas of agricultural land to landless indigenous people. They will also get another half a bigha for building a house.

    A statement from Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal's office said that this land can't be sold for 15 years.
