Rajasthan Old Pension Scheme 2022

As we all know getting a job in the government sector is not easy, but individuals desire to join the government sector for future security. As the government decided not to provide pensions to the employees the future security element has been lost. Due to this individual contributions towards good governance became lesser. Considering this the State Government of Rajasthan has decided to revive the pension scheme.
