Scientists' retirement age
Recently the cabinet has approved a proposal for increasing the retirement age of the scientists of BCSIR to 67 years. After a long wait, the BCSIR scientists have received their due recognition for which the government deserves appreciation.
Meanwhile I strongly feel that the retirement age of all the scientists including those in BARI, BRRI, BJRI, BINA should also be raised to 67 years appreciating their importance for country's economic progress and development. Perhaps it would not be illogical to suggest that the retirement age of the public university teachers should also be increased to 67 years. The entry age of service in research organisations and universities should also be relaxed up to 35 years.
I sincerely call upon the government to consider the above suggestions.
