The move is considered as a shift from the common belief that women can only be the principal care-givers for children, reported the English daily The Times of India.

Till now this provision applied to women employees only. The women employees were entitled to CCL in three spells in a year that could be availed for up to two children.

According to the government order, a single male parent government employee has been defined as “an unmarried, or widower, or divorcee government employee.”

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki.

However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
