Before checking out the best government jobs for women in India, let’s look at the perks that a government job offer and how these are helpful for women.

Why Government Jobs are Perfect Fit for Women in India?

1. Better Work-Life Balance: In a survey by Wall Street Journal in 2013, 70% of female respondents in India said that work-life balance was key to their definition of “success” in their career, while only 40% of men felt that. The study also revealed that the difficulty of balancing life and work is a key reason why women in India leave their jobs (source). A government job that offers fixed working hours and a better leave policy helps to maintain this balance. Work-from-home opportunity for women is also being introduced by PSU banks like SBI.
2. Special Provisions for Women: The government regularly encourages women’s employment in the public sector. With the same motive, there is fee exemption and age relaxation in various government job exams; SSC is one of them.
3. Maternity leave in public sector banks and other organizations:
   • Most government offices grant at least 6 months of paid maternity leave to women.
   • Railways even grant leave up to two years in continuation with maternity leave in case a mother applies for it.
   • While private-sector jobs mostly offer only 3 months paid leave which could be less dependent on the health condition of the newborn.
   • Adoptive mothers are eligible for 180 days of maternity leave under the central government.
4. Equal Growth Opportunity & Handsome Salary: Apart from the above benefits, women in the government sector also get access to handsome salaries and equal growth opportunities. Unlike the private sector, public sector jobs base promotions on long-term benefits. Therefore, women depending on their performance get equal opportunities to groom and grow in their careers as men.

So, we do understand that government jobs have some really good perks for women in India. Let’s have a look at the list of best government jobs for women in India.
