Maharashtra Govt's New Policy: Compassionate Jobs for Aided School Staff Families

• Maharashtra government introduces a revised scheme for compassionate appointments for families of teaching and non-teaching staff in private aided and partially aided schools.
• The scheme provides employment to an eligible family member if an employee dies in service or is declared deceased.
• Appointments will be made only to sanctioned and vacant Group C and Group D posts, with age limits of 18-45 years and mandatory qualifications.
• Spouses of deceased employees may receive relaxation in educational qualifications for Group D posts.
• Priority for appointment is given to the spouse, then son/daughter, or dependent brother/sister of an unmarried employee, with specific exclusions for families already employed or having a third child after Dec 31, 2001.

Why It Matters: Maharashtra government streamlines compassionate appointments for aided school staff families, ensuring financial support and transparency.
