Introduction The increasing life expectancy coupled with the gradual disappearance of the extended family system, makes it imperative for India to design a robust pension system to avoid impoverishment in old-age and accompanying social distress. The current scenario in India is marked by low and insufficient pension coverage. Timely and smart policy interventions, when a majority of the Indian population is still young, can help avert an impending pension crisis. It is important for all the key stakeholders such as the government, regulators, employees and employers to engage in a focused and constructive discussion to explore new ways to broaden and deepen pension coverage in India.

    Press Information Bureau Government of India ***** Maps of newly formed Union Territories of Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh, with the map of India New Delhi, November 2, 2019 On the recommendation of Parliament, the President effectively dismantled Article 370 of the Indian Constitution and gave assent to the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act, 2019. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and supervision of Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, the former state of Jammu & Kashmir has been reorganized as the new Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and the new Union Territory of Ladakh on 31st October 2019. The new Union Territory of Ladakh consists of two districts of Kargil and Leh. The rest of the former State of Jammu and Kashmir is in the new Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

By 2019, the state government of former Jammu and Kashmir had reorganized the areas of these 14 districts into 28 districts. The names of the new districts are as follows - Kupwara, Bandipur, Ganderbal, Srinagar, Budgam, Pulwama, Shupian, Kulgam, Rajouri, Ramban, Doda, Kishtivar, Samba and Kargil. Out of these, Kargil district was carved out from the area of Leh and Ladakh district.
