Government Employees Urge Guidelines for Work From Home Amid Economic Concerns

An association representing central government employees has urged the Centre to introduce guidelines for remote work and virtual meetings. This appeal follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recommendation to cut avoidable expenses amid the ongoing West Asia crisis.

The Central Secretariat Service (CSS) Forum highlighted the potential benefits of a structured framework, including enhanced productivity, employee well-being, and digital governance. The association envisions this initiative contributing to a 'green secretariat.'

Manjeet Singh Patel, national President of the All India NPS Employees Federation, echoed this call, urging the government to consider such measures for national welfare and sustainable progress.
