Those who voted YES had this to say:
• Yes! Provided 33 years is the maximum length of the service and 33 or 35 years is the upper age limit to quality for a government service.
• Nagaland is not an exceptional state which enhanced superannuation age of government to 60 years. There is no reason why they should be deprived of enhancing the superannuation at par with states in the country.
• We support the government’s decision to increase the superannuation age to 60 years and the extension of age to 35 years to the entry for government service.
• We support government’s decision increasing the superannuation age to 60 years and entry to service to 35 years.
• As per central Govt. rules
• Because the allegations of govt. employees serving for 40 to 45 years are of those who have been recruited during the 80s and before. If we look at the present system, save for a few technical graduates and some rare outstanding toppers, the age at which most of the candidates being appointed are at the average age of 26/27 and later, and calculating the tenure of service rendered till 60, it comes to 33 years, considering a person to be appointed at 27. Due consideration should also be given to the Cabinet Decision regarding the official lifting of the blanket ban on post creations and appointments, and not just regarding the age of superannuation.
• Why because people can work and serve to their best up to the age of 60. After that he/she becomes weak physically and mentally and besides its good for the new and young jobless and enthusiastic people to get in to govt. job replacing the old wants.
• Because people can still work even after 60 years of age efficiently.
Those who voted NO had this to say:
• In this today's present situation, many educated youth are wandering in search of government jobs as there is no alternate work to earn their living as we the Naga people have to depend only on Government jobs. So, the superannuation of age should be 57 instead of 60 as to solve the problem of unwanted crisis.
• Population increasing, govt jobs decreasing, education widening (increase in educated unemployed),what productivity output one will give when retirement is near, say, after 57 yrs. GIVE way to young generation, they grow up with the fast changing world.
• It gives employees a right to serve more than 60 years through birth date manipulations. As of now also they are serving more than 60 years of age.
• Nothing much to say... Let the new and potential generation rule
• No, unemployment will increase more.
• No, totally disagree to this. If it is to be so, then what about us, the educated unemployed?? Come on, we are on the verge of stepping into another century, and moreover, the mind-set and the working ideas of the present job holders are outdated and therefore stale.
Those who voted Others had this to say:
• Length of service must remain fixed 33 years though superannuation be enhanced to 60 years. Comb out ‘DEADWOODS’ and ‘GHOSTS.’ Are those in power listening? Move over and make way for the younger generation.
• Either way is not the solution. Unfortunately Nagas look at employment only through the prism of government jobs, and that is part of the reason whey there is unequal growth in the society. I wish Nagas would look at employment from a broader point of view and when that happens, I am sure this issue of superannuation would not be a problem at all.
