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 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!”
