DEBATE (1) Retirement Age
Reducing retirement age will give opportunity to well educated youngsters and will also raise the efficiency of already serving govt employees as they will have to keep fit and updated to seek post retirement pvt jobs. Extensions post retirement in government jobs should stopped.
Vijay

DEBATE(2) Retirement Age
Retirement age at 58 from the existing 60 years when it was in force for last 16 years is a knee jerk stuff. Instead, they should weed out dead wood. Can they bring in objective reviews from 55 years on and only the effective ones survive. Rest should get back to home. As it was mentioned if it is for babus…it is high time we change from "Indian Administrative Services" to "India Development Services" or "India Management Services"

DEBATE(3) Retirement Age

Wrong decision

V K Bahuguna

DEBATE(4) Retirement Age
This is the call of the day. Mounting admn expenses, stubborn hypocrisy, reversed pyramid of man power setup only adding to non productive avoidable drainage of national resources and sharp edged hurdles in fast processing in govt offices. Ofcourse government should partly replace heavyweight manpower through this bold decision with MODI charged energetic youngsters. This will bring fresh ideas in the system.
