Even as thousands of young engineers, doctors, teachers and other professionals are passing out every year from various institutes, the Punjab Government does not seem to have a proper recruitment policy. For example, the rise in the retirement age, just a day before the exit of the CMD of the PSPCL, was clearly done to oblige a person who danced to the tunes of his/her master. Such decisions are not linked with performance and are contrary to the BOD’s opinion, which had decided not to the adopt the state government proposal to increase the retirement age of employees from 58 to 60 years.

All technical or non-technical professional organizations of the state should be headed by sector specialists, selected through a procedure similar to that of the Public Enterprises Selection Board.
