This Office Memorandum from the Department of Personnel & Training discusses the guidelines for granting Study Leave to government servants pursuing fellowships. It clarifies that Study Leave can be granted not only for courses directly related to an employee’s duties, but also for studies that broaden their skills and improve their ability to collaborate within the public service. The department previously relaxed rules for Jawaharlal Nehru Fellowships and is now exploring extending similar terms to other fellowships. All ministries and departments are requested to submit details of relevant fellowships by December 15th, 2010. The memorandum also lists the recipients of the copy, including various government bodies, state governments, and related organizations.

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.
- 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.
