The ministry in April set up a committee under Finance Secretary T V Somanathan to review the pension scheme for government employees and suggest any changes, if needed, in the light of the existing framework and structure of the National Pension System (NPS).
While defending the Centre's decisions in Union Budget 2023, the Finance Secretary suggested that investing more money into education will not improve India's quality of education.
