185. Daily Rules Recap - Reimbursement of Children Education Allowance – JCM Staff side writes
• Due to the implementation of the New Education Policy (NEP), three classes prior to the First Standard have now been brought under the Child Education Allowance (CEA) and Hostel Subsidy schemes.
• This change has been given effect starting from the academic year 2023-24.
• However, since the NEP itself was implemented from the academic year 2022-23 and the entry age for the First Standard was revised to six years in the same year, this benefit should ideally be implemented from the academic year 2022-23 onwards.
• The JCM Staff Side wrote to the Department of Personnel & Training (DOPT) on April 12, 2024, requesting an amendment to implement the scheme from the 2022-23 academic year onwards.
This demand is genuine and warrants consideration
