Jaipur. In a move aimed at fostering a positive work environment, Rajasthan Legislative Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devnani has announced an additional holiday for the assembly secretariat on November 10. This decision effectively grants the staff a continuous five-day break during the upcoming Diwali festivities, allowing employees to spend quality time with their families and participate in traditional celebrations.
The official notification regarding this change was issued by the Principal Secretary of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, Bharat Bhushan Sharma. The order clarifies that the holiday on November 10 is being granted in lieu of a previously scheduled working day that was set for Saturday, February 21. By adjusting the calendar, the administration has ensured that the operational requirements of the assembly are balanced with the personal needs of its workforce.
This initiative has been welcomed by the assembly personnel, who now have the opportunity to observe the multi-day festival without the pressure of professional commitments. The decision reflects Speaker Devnani's focus on the well-being of the staff, acknowledging the importance of cultural and familial traditions in the lives of government employees.
The adjustment serves as a gesture of goodwill, ensuring that the festive spirit is shared across the secretariat. With this extended leave, employees are expected to return to their duties refreshed after the conclusion of the holiday period. The assembly administration remains committed to maintaining a supportive atmosphere for all its members, balancing administrative efficiency with the personal welfare of those who keep the institution running smoothly throughout the year.
