Central Pay Commission & NPS to OPS Conversion – Agitation Programs
The agitation programmes are centered around two key issues: the Constitution of the 8th Central Pay Commission and the conversion of the National Pension Scheme (NPS) to the Old Pension Scheme (OPS). These issues have sparked widespread concern and have prompted various organized efforts to bring about change. The Constitution of the 8th Central Pay Commission aims to address the concerns and demands of government employees regarding their salaries, allowances, and benefits. On the other hand, the conversion of the NPS to the OPS is a pressing matter that seeks to ensure the financial security and well-being of employees by reverting to the previous pension system. These agitation programmes serve as a platform for collective action, with individuals and organizations coming together to voice their grievances and advocate for the necessary reforms.
