Father's Day gift: Cycle Pure Agarbathi grants paid paternity leave for would be fathers

Mysore/Mysuru: In India, maternity leave was introduced in 1961 providing a 12-week paid leave to mothers and in 2017, it was increased to 26 weeks.

However, there is no Government-mandated paternity leave policy for men. They are usually offered one or two weeks of paid leave in a Government sector while the leave policy in the private sector differs from company to company and most of them don’t offer paid paternity leaves.
