The Cabinet meeting chaired by Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini today approved the amendment to the Policy for Appointment on Contract Basis, for providing compassionate employment to one existing member of the families of Haryana who died in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, whether the death occurred in the State of Haryana or outside.
This decision will give effect to the announcement made by the Chief Minister in the Haryana Assembly on August 25, 2025, which reflects the state government’s commitment to the welfare and rehabilitation of the affected families.
Under this amendment, a new clause has been added to the policy, under which the name of one unanimously selected existing family member of the riot victims will be considered for suitable jobs in the Level-I, Level-II, or Level-III category through Haryana Kaushal Rojgar Nigam (HKRN), depending on the educational qualification and eligibility criteria prescribed by HKRN.
If all the posts in a department are filled, the HKRN eligible person will be accommodated in another department or in their own institute to ensure employment.
This compassionate process provides a systematic mechanism for employment through HKRN, which will ensure fairness, transparency, and dignity to the families who suffered irreparable loss during the 1984 riots.
By another decision, the Haryana Cabinet approved an amendment to the Model Online Transfer Policy, 2025, to bring more transparency and fairness in the transfer process of government employees.
An employee whose spouse is employed as a regular employee in any department or organisation of the Haryana Government, or as a regular employee under any other State Government or the Government of India, and is posted in Haryana, Delhi, or Chandigarh, will be given 5 marks.
Further, the qualifying marks will be given to only one of the two Haryana Government employees, including the couple.
