Sir,
It is said that in the central Govt. Service sector,all the retirement benefits including the PPO are kept in the hands of the reitree on the very day of his retirement and consequently he feels honoured and elevated whereas in the J &K State Govt. service sector,when it is not done,how can he feel honoured and elevated rather he feels rejected,humiliated and unwanted by the atmosphere created around him.He feels as if he has committed a great sin by serving the society as a Government Servant.
Such a wrong mentality towards reitrees community needs to be corrected as they are the embodiments of huge experience and knowledge and instead of declaring them the used bullets, their expertise can be used for the betterment of the society by the Government.
If the prevailing situation is not countered by the society and the Government,attitude of the people around the retire will continue harming him psychologically and which will lead him towards many diseases and most of them will remain dying after 2 or 3 years of their retirement.
It is,therefore, urged upon the state Government that it should own the responsibility for honourably retiring its employees by taking the followwing steps:-
All the record regarding his pension/GPF/Cash-in-lieu/other benefits be maitained by the conrened controlling officers and his NDC for retirement also be arranged by the controlling officers.An Advisory/Check list and procedure for retirement be provided to the concerned officers.
It should be made mandatory for one of the highest authorities to attend his retirement party and say politely Good Bye to him.
Yours etc.
