Raj Cabinet approves 33% quota for women in police

Jaipur: The Rajasthan Cabinet on Wednesday approved 33 per cent reservation to women in the police force and five per cent additional allowance to pensioners.

The meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, also approved a proposal to allot land for a 3,150 MW solar power project.

Deputy Chief Minister Dr Prem Chand Bairwa said an amendment to the Rajasthan Police Subordinate Services Rules, 1989, was approved in the cabinet meeting, paving the way for the onethird quota for women in police. A notification will be issued soon by the Personnel department in this regard, he added.

Dr Bairwa said the cabinet has also taken measures in connection with beneficiaries of pensions for retiring state government employees.

If there is no other eligible member, then the names of specially-abled (vishesh yogya) children, dependent parents, and specially-abled siblings can now be permanently added to the Pension Payment Order, he said.

For this, approval has been given to amend Rules 67 and 87 of the Rajasthan Civil Services Pension Rules, 1996 under the pension rules of the central government, he said.

He also said that consequent to the CM’s announcement of giving a 5 per cent additional allowance to pensioners of 70 to 75 years of age during a discussion on the Rajasthan Appropriation and Finance Bill in the Assembly, approval was given to replace Rule 54B of Rajasthan Civil Services Pension Rules, 1996.

Law and Justice Minister Jogaram Patel said that the land allotment for 3,150 MW solar power projects will increase employment opportunities and the state’s revenue.

Patel noted that the Cabinet approved amendments to include two more service rules in the reservation provision for outstanding athletes, clarifying athlete definitions.

These changes, initially omitted, will now be incorporated into the Rajasthan Language & Library Service Rules, 2013, and the Rajasthan Excise Laboratory Service Rules, 2015.
