This policy is applicable only for two living children and can be availed once for one child’s education. He further submits that the petitioner is a constable in Central Industrial Security Force, at Bhilai Steel Plant and transfer order has been passed by the Assistant Commandant on 24th May, 2025 directing him to join NTPC, Khargone for further instruction and duty without considering the fact that the petitioner is disabled person, suffering from Spinal issues and requires proper treatment and care.
