Explanation:

Board of Directors of Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (RSRTC) has passed a progressive proposal concerning women’s welfare in the state.

As per the proposal, married daughters of deceased employees of Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (RSRTC) are likely to be offered compassionate appointments by the corporation.

A proposal regarding this, has been passed by the board of directors of the department.

The RSCTC is the first state unit which has proposed to give employment to the married daughters of deceased employees.

Rajasthan Roadways management had applied for compassionate appointment for married daughters as dependents of more than 30 deceased employees.

Since there was no provision for compassionate appointment to the married daughter in the Compassionate Appointment Regulations, in September last year, a proposal was submitted to the board of directors of the corporation to give compassionate appointment to married daughters.

The proposal was passed and then sent to the transport department which asked for certain corrections to be made to it.

Earlier, the Rajasthan High Court had recently ruled that a married daughter is entitled to a government job on compassionate grounds.

The perception that a daughter is no longer a part of her father's household after marriage and becomes an exclusive part of her husband's household shows an outdated mindset, the court observed.

At present, the widow or son or unmarried daughter of the deceased employee are given compassionate appointment.
