Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday said that the Rajasthan government is firm on its decision to revive the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) for all state government employees.
He stressed on employees being an integral part of the state government and hence, among the most deserving when it comes to benefitting from public welfare schemes run by the government.
Speaking at the pre-budget dialogue with representatives of the employees’ organisations at the secretariat on Wednesday, Gehlot said his government is continuously working towards interest of state employees.
“Employees act as an important link in the effective implementation of the schemes till the lower level,” he stated. The CM invited suggestions from the employees’ organizations to make the upcoming budget inclusive.
“Unprecedented decisions have been taken by the state government in the last four years for the welfare of the employees. In view of the future security of the employees, the government re-implemented OPS from a human perspective,” a release quoting him said.
With the implementation of OPS, he said, the “employees will be free from worrying about the future and will be able to work with responsibility.”
Gehlot said there should be continuous dialogue between the government and the employees. He said the government’s concept of good governance is affected when its employees are on strike, leading to unnecessary delay in the work of the common man. Various types of problems can be easily resolved in a timely manner by establishing dialogue, he said.
