Government contemplating on increasing the Retirement age of Central Govt. Employees from 60 to 62

Government contemplating on increasing the Retirement age of Central Govt. Employees from 60 to 62

The government is planning to extend the retirement age of all central government employees by two years — from the current 60 to 62 years. Sources said that an in-principle decision has been taken in this regard and the department of personnel and training (DoPT) has begun the work to implement the same. A formal announcement to this effect is expected this year itself.

The last time the government extended the retirement age of central government employees was in 1998. It was also a two-year extension from 58. This was preceded by the implementation of the 5th Pay Commission, which had put severe strain on government’s finances.

In the last cabinet meeting there was hype from the media and blogging community that such a decision will be announced by the Government. But later it came to know that this item was not there in the agenda of the last cabinet. But everyone hope that such a move is on the anvil.

Pros and Cons if such a decision is implemented

Advantages : (from employees side)

1. If the 7th pay commission is implemented in the year 2016, the central government employees those who are retiring from service in the year of 2014 to 2016 would be benefitted by extension of their service further two more years.

2. Economically the employees would be in better position due to this rise of the age of superannuation.

3. The pensionary benefits would also increase alongside if there is any shortage of service to get full pension and gratuity

4. More over there is a chance of getting an additional MACP by the central govt employees if there is any short fall in the service by two years to get 2nd or 3rd MACP

Disadvantages:

1. Promotions will be affected due to no retirement up to two years.

2. Unemployment problem will be continued due to the increase in retirement age.

3. The age criterion to get government job to be relaxed by two more years, otherwise those who are at the verge of crossing the age limit will be affected seriously.

4. Efficiency will be affected if the retirement age of unhealthy employees increased.

5. Job prospects of youth will be affected.

View of Currentaffairs4examz team: It should be the youth who should be benefited. There is no urgent need to increase the retirement age. An employee who retires at the age of 60 will certainly be economically sound. At a time when un-employment keeps increasing, the Govt. should do away from such a move.

June 5- World Environment Day

June 5- World Environment Day

The theme for this year’s World Environment Day celebrations is Think.Eat.Save. Think.Eat.Save is an anti-food waste and food loss campaign that encourages you to reduce your foodprint. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), every year 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted. This is equivalent to the same amount produced in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, 1 in every 7 people in the world go to bed hungry and more than 20,000 children under the age of 5 die daily from hunger. 

Given this enormous imbalance in lifestyles and the resultant devastating effects on the environment, this year’s theme – Think.Eat.Save – encourages you to become more aware of the environmental impact of the food choices you make and empowers you to make informed decisions.

While the planet is struggling to provide us with enough resources to sustain its 7 billion people (growing to 9 billion by 2050), FAO estimates that a third of global food production is either wasted or lost. Food waste is an enormous drain on natural resources and a contributor to negative environmental impacts.

This year’s campaign rallies you to take action from your home and then witness the power of collective decisions you and others have made to reduce food waste, save money, minimise the environmental impact of food production and force food production processes to become more efficient.

If food is wasted, it means that all the resources and inputs used in the production of all the food are also lost. For example, it takes about 1,000 litres of water to produce 1 litre of milk and about 16,000 litres goes into a cow’s food to make a hamburger. The resulting greenhouse gas emissions from the cows themselves, and throughout the food supply chain, all end up in vain when we waste food.

In fact, the global food production occupies 25% of all habitable land and is responsible for 70% of fresh water consumption, 80% of deforestation, and 30% of greenhouse gas emissions. It is the largest single driver of biodiversity loss and land-use change.

Making informed decision therefore means, for example, that you purposefully select foods that have less of an environmental impact, such as organic foods that do not use chemicals in the production process. Choosing to buy locally can also mean that foods are not flown halfway across the world and therefore limit emissions.   

“So think before you eat and help save our environment!”
