The standing committee of Parliament on social justice and empowerment have recommended the government to raise the retirement of the employees age to 65 years. The recommendations is based on the fact that growing lifespan was adding to the need for "productive ageing".
The recommendation for increase in retirement age comes with a reminder that senior citizens would form 12.4% of the total population in 2026 from 7.5% in 2001.
"The committee feels that with the increase in life expectancy and relatively better state of health of people, the government needs to look at continuity of employment up to 65 years," said the report.
It also recommended that government look at greater post-retirement opportunities for senior citizens and create greater financial support.
While suggesting immediate redressal for the ageing population, the panel sought to train the government's focus on the 60-plus group by pointing out that its growing numbers would be a serious challenge in health and social care.
Specifically, it underlined that as per population projections, the 80-plus bloc, the most-vulnerable group, would see a sharper rise in numbers.
The urgency of parliamentarians towards senior citizens comes amid growing global realization that increasing lifespan is creating a new demographic bloc requiring state intervention.
Seeking government attention, the committee noted that senior citizens comprised 7.5% of the total population in 2001 but their share is likely to increase to 12.4% in 2026. Importantly, UN projections say while India's population will rise by 55% by 2050, that of 60-plus would increase by 326% and that of 80-plus would go up by 700%.
The panel said special focus should be on the octogenarian bloc. "This age group is the most vulnerable and runs the risk of getting dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson disease, depression in their older years," it said, and asked the Centre to constitute an expert group of relevant government departments to devise specialized healthcare programme for them

Views/suggestion for VII CPC memorandum
Dear Members,
Members from across the country are sending their views on submitting our memorandum to the CPC. Few points received are given below for discussion.
1. Few members suggest elimination of grade pay and restoring pay scale system
2. Merger of Grade-II and I (5000-5500 to GP Rs.4200/-) is felt to be great blow to
our promotional scopes. In the past Grade-I stenos were equal scale with Group
B gazetted, After merger of Grade-II and I with less grade pay we are the loser.
This anomally should be set right.
3. Getting equal grade pay with CSSS
4. Enhancing the salary of Grade-III(Now grade-II) Stenographer.
5. Improving the promotional opportunities to Stenographers.
6. Change of nomenclature as Executive Secretary/Sr.Executive Secy, etc with change in
the duties ie., taking more responsibility in the administration instead of sidelining us
as is enjoyed by Stenographers in companies, ie, more promotional/responsibilities in
managerial capacity in the changing scenario
These are few suggestions/views received from our members. I request all to comment, submit their views/suggestions for preparation of the draft memorandum to be submitted to the CPC.
