In Rajya Sabha the Minister of
Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Shri.V.Narayanasamy said in
written reply to a question that there is no proposal to provide for

well-being of older people around the world. It measures the economic,
social and political elements. India is ranked 73rd out of 91 countries
selected for the index.
The Government has no proposal to provide for Parent Care Leave on the lines of Child Care Leave (CCL). CCL is allowed to female Central Government employees with
