Jai Ram Ramesh has commented that old age pension of Rs. 200/- L.M. is too less and insulting.

May be he is right. This should be increased to Rs. 1,000/- P.M. with free medical facility. However, the minimum age for eligibility should be increased to seventy years. Also, the recipients should be encouraged to voluntarily work in various government welfare schemes.

In Karnataka it is Rs 500/ per month, the same amount is given for widows and disabled ...This was one of the best things that Kumaraswamy ( Deve Gowda's son ) did during his short tenure as Chief Minister !

But even 500 Rs per month is not enough they must understand it. But may as these facilities are misused by people therefore they have not increased it. :blink:

You see no amount is enough these days but government has its limitation and there are too many people who come in that category, so some thing is better than nothing.

Yes there are lots of people who come in this category and are eligible for it. I think they should focus more on old age homes so that this may not be misused by anyone. :)
