“No such proposal is under consideration of the government,” Union Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh said in a written reply to a question about any plan to amend the retirement age of employees.
Singh also stated that the the government is constantly engaged in formulation of policies, programmes and other measures for providing employment for the youth in civil services, based on the requirement as per transaction of business in the government.
