Old age pension Rs. 200/- PM- an insult

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.
