OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Study Leave for Fellowships offered by reputed Institutes.
Study Leave is normally granted to a Government Servant for a course of study having direct and close connection with the sphere of his duty. However, it can also be granted for studies which may not be closely or directly connected with the work of a Government Servant, but which are capable of widening his mind in a manner likely to improve his abilities as a civil servant and to equip him better to collaborate with those employed in other branches of the public service. Keeping in view the above spirit, this Department had allowed Study Leave to those selected for the award of Jawaharlal Nehru Fellowships in relaxation of the rules.
2. In light of the above, this Department is examining the feasibility of bringing more Fellowships under the purview of Study Leave, on the same terms and conditions as the Jawaharlal Nehru Fellowships. All Ministries/Department are requested to provide relevant /requisite inputs regarding fellowships offered by reputed institutions which may be of benefit to their area of work. It would be appreciated if the feed back is received by the under signed by 15th December 2010. The same may be mailed to the under signed at pads@nic.in.

In certain instances the Government seeks further time from the court and in certain other instances, the petitioners file contempt petitions for not having completed the proceedings as per the court orders. In many of such cases , the UPSC has to be consulted as per the existing regulations, before the final orders are issued.
The UPSC has brought to the notice of this Department that In the above cases, some Ministries / Departments have stated in the affidavit flied before the Court that the matter has been pending with the UPSC and the delay in completing the proceedings was due to the delay In result of advice from the UPSC although such canes had been returned by the Commission to the Administrative Ministry to rectify the deficiencies noted by it In this connection, attention of Mlnlstrles/ Departments Is drawn to this Department’s OM of even number dated 10.5.2010 and 14.9.2010 In which it has been reiterated that the Commission generally takes 3-4 months to render its advice matter the complete case record8 have been received by the Commission and that the Ministries / Department should ensure that the prescribed proforma for mending the case records to the UPSC filled with due care and attention to avoid any back reference by the Commlaelon to rectify the deficiencies.
