In the spirit of Diwali, the Andhra Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, has announced a series of employee-friendly measures aimed at boosting morale and ensuring the well-being of its workforce. The announcement, made on October 19, 2025, via a post on X, reflects the government’s dedication to fostering a supportive work environment for its employees and their families.
Key Announcements
1. Dearness Allowance (DA) Hike
Starting November 1, 2025, government employees will receive an additional Dearness Allowance (DA) to help offset the rising cost of living. This financial boost is expected to benefit thousands of employees across various departments, ensuring greater economic stability for their families.
2. Surrender Leave for Police Personnel
Recognizing the tireless service of the state’s police force, the government has decided to clear one surrender leave for police personnel. This move will provide officers with much-needed flexibility and support, acknowledging their critical role in maintaining law and order.
3. Flexible Child Care Leave
In a progressive step, the government has relaxed restrictions on Child Care Leave (CCL). Employees can now utilize the 180-day CCL entitlement at any point before retirement, without any age limit constraints. This measure will enable working parents to better balance professional responsibilities with family needs.
4. Clearing Pending RTC Promotions
The Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (RTC) employees will see long-pending promotions cleared, offering career advancement opportunities and boosting morale. This decision underscores the government’s commitment to addressing the professional aspirations of its RTC workforce.
5. Resolving Health Card Issues
To ensure seamless access to healthcare, the government has pledged to resolve all issues related to employee health cards within 60 days. This initiative will streamline healthcare services for employees and their families, ensuring timely medical support.

A Message of Festive Cheer
Alongside these announcements, Chief Minister Naidu extended warm Diwali greetings to all government employees and their families. The measures reflect the government’s vision of creating a motivated, supported, and empowered workforce, capable of driving Andhra Pradesh toward greater progress.
Looking Ahead
These employee-centric decisions are set to bring tangible benefits to thousands of workers, fostering a sense of appreciation and motivation. As the state prepares to celebrate Diwali, these announcements add an extra layer of joy, symbolizing hope, prosperity, and a brighter future for Andhra Pradesh’s government employees.
The government’s proactive approach to addressing employee welfare concerns sets a positive tone for the festive season, reinforcing its commitment to building a stronger, more inclusive administration.
