Current Affairs - State - Discussion

The Madhya Pradesh government decided to remove the two-child restriction that had previously disqualified individuals with more than two living children from government service recruitment. The decision also involved amendments to service and conduct rules that treated having more than two children as a ground for ineligibility or misconduct. Originally introduced in 2001 as a population-control measure, the policy applied to individuals with more than two children born on or after January 26, 2001. The move aligns Madhya Pradesh with other states such as Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, which had already withdrawn similar restrictions in earlier years.
