The state Higher Education Department, in an order issued on Thursday, stated that girl students can now appear for their semester exams with 73 per cent attendance instead of the 75 per cent mandated under the University Rules. It said that all female students above the age of 18 can avail up to 60 days pregnancy leave.
Countries like the UK, China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Spain, and Zambia have provisions for menstrual leaves. Moreover, women employees in Bihar government services are eligible for two days special menstrual leave every month since 1992.
