Government has revamped jobs on compassionate ground for Gramin Dak Sevaks, GDS. <br/><br/>An official release said Department of Posts has revamped the existing compassionate engagement scheme offered to the dependent family members of Gramin Dak Sevak. <br/><br/>The dependants of Gramin Dak Sevak who dies in harness will benefit from a liberalized and time bound procedure for engagement on compassionate grounds. Any death of a Gramin Dak Sevak while on engagement would be compensated by a compassionate engagement to a dependent family member irrespective of the circumstances or indigence. <br/><br/>Upper age limit of the applicant could also be relaxed wherever found to be necessary. The new scheme of compassionate engagement will therefore provide greater relief to the members of the family of the deceased GDS who belong to weaker and poorer sections of the society.<br/><br/>The ambit of dependent family member has also been expanded to include married son, daughter in law, and divorced daughter wholly dependent on the Gramin Dak Sevak.
