Two Child Norm - Madhya Pradesh

June 13 , 2026 15 hrs 0 min 56 0

The Madhya Pradesh Government has withdrawn the two-child norm that restricted eligibility for government jobs and service benefits.
The earlier rule made persons with more than two children born on or after 26 January 2001 ineligible for government service.
The provision was introduced in 2001 under the Madhya Pradesh Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1965.
The State Government directed the removal of the provision from the proposed civil services rules.
The decision benefits government employees and job aspirants who were covered under the restriction.
The withdrawal will not have a retrospective effect; employees previously dismissed under the rule will not be reinstated.
