Teachers' retirement age could be raised to 65

Raising the retirement age for university and college teachers to 65 years and taking up measures to break stagnation in their career growth are among a set of steps that the UGC-appointed pay-revision committee will recommend for making the profession attractive. The committee, headed by G K Chadha, met in New Delhi on Sunday and decided to suggest provision of additional incentives at entry level for teachers and a set of new benefits to ensure that teachers get a "decent deal". "At present the retirement age varies from state to state. There are states where it is 55 years while certain states have 58, 60, 62 and 65 as the age of retirement. We will suggest 65 years as the retirement age which will be of immense benefit for institutions and students," Chadha told reporters.
