VK Paul, a member of NITI Aayog, has proposed extending maternity leave from six months to nine months for firms in the public and private sectors.
Paul emphasized the importance of the private sector's support in creating comprehensive child care facilities, such as opening more creches, to assist working parents.
Additionally, he highlighted the need for the private sector to contribute towards elderly care initiatives, aligning with NITI Aayog's efforts in providing holistic care solutions.
