Paternal leave is something new to Indians. Father’s of newly born in India won’t get any leave privileges when compared to mother’s. Though many countries have been granting leave to males after they are blessed with a child, there are no such rules in India. India is among 90 countries which don’t think about paternal leave. But things might be coming soon. Many studies have indicated that the presence and closeness of father with the new born would have a positive effect on the child. According to a report from UNICEF, India might soon introduce a paternity bill granting three months of leave for the fathers.
