Summary of the Question and Answer
The Loksabha Unstarred Question No. 1505, asked by Shri Tejasvi Surya, inquires about the Government’s plans to revise the retirement age of all government employees. Specifically, it questions if the government will implement a uniform retirement age policy, where employees would retire after completing 30 years of service or upon turning 60, whichever comes first. The goal is to provide opportunities for the youth of the nation in light of the increasing number of eligible youth for employment (those born after 2000).
Key Points of the Answer:
No Proposal for Retirement Age Revision: The Government has no such proposal under consideration to revise the retirement age or service period for government employees.
Measures for Youth Employment: The Government is actively engaged in policies and programs to provide more employment opportunities in civil services, including organizing Rozgar Melas (employment fairs) to fill vacant posts in various government sectors on a time-bound basis.
In summary, while there are no changes planned to the retirement age, the government is focused on improving employment prospects for youth in civil services through various initiatives.
