GUWAHATI: Population-Control Law will now come into force in Assam for candidates applying government jobs, said Jansankhya Samadhan Foundation - North-east India Chapter Chairman Sailendra Pandey on Thursday. This law was first implemented in the last Panchayat elections in Assam. Now government job applicants will come under the ambit of this law in the State.
Pandey stated that a format of an affidavit has been attached with the advertisement issued for the recruitment of vacant posts in Assam Secretariat through which married male or female candidates will have to give details of their children.
"Under the law, parents of more than two children cannot apply to those posts. The candidates must clearly specify that they do not have more than two children in an affidavit and must furnish details of children's names, age etc in the affidavit. Apart from this, the applicant will also have to mention that the Marriage Law of 2006 has not been violated," Pandey underlined.
The State Government decided to implement this law in jobs from January of this year and has started with the advertisement of vacant posts of the Assam Secretariat, he asserted.
According to the information received from the sources, this law will be further applied for the jobs of all departments. This initiative of the government has been supported by the North-east Unit of Jansankhya Samadhan Foundation.
