Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh—
The Haryana Government has decided to reopen the portal of Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam Limited (HKRNL) for uploading data of eligible contractual employees, in view of repeated requests from departments, boards and corporations.
According to an official order issued by the Chief Secretary’s Office, the HKRNL portal will be reopened to allow uploading of details of contractual manpower who were engaged on or before March 31, 2022 and are still in service. The decision has been taken to enable such employees to avail benefits under the Haryana Contractual Employees Job Security Act, 2024.
The order states that earlier instructions dated August 13, 2024 had allowed the opening of the HKRNL portal up to September 30, 2024. However, as several departments and public undertakings could not upload complete data within the stipulated time, the government has now approved reopening of the portal.
It has been further clarified that a separate window will be opened up to February 20, 2026 exclusively for contractual employees of departments, boards and corporations whose approval has already been obtained from the Finance Department, as per provisions of the Deployment of Contractual Persons Policy, 2022. A copy of the Finance Department’s approval will be uploaded on the HKRNL portal, following which the portal will be opened for the concerned department.
