Cover Story
retirement
prabhat kumar
With
increase in life expectancy, it makes eminent sense to raise the retirement age
of government employees to 65 years
The little murmur about increase in the age of superannuation of
Central government employees has been quashed for the time being by the
announcement of the government. However, the question whether people should
continue working beyond the age of 60 years, not only in the government but
also in private companies, lingers on and needs to be debated. It is really
surprising that neither the civil service community nor civil society activists
have raised the matter in public discourse. The activists seem to be obsessed
with finding fault with bureaucratic functioning and unconcerned with improving
their productivity in governance.
