‘Anubhav’ project: PM Narendra Modi asks retiring officials to pen down their experiences

NEW DELHI: Retiring government employees will now have another task while submitting their pension forms – to log online and record their ‘ Anubhav (experience)’ in the form of a 5,000-word note on their outstanding achievements in what would have been a long innings in the service.

While the task is voluntary, and retiring employees can also opt for some social work after hanging their boots, not many would like to miss out on it, especially since Prime Minister Narendra Modi is himself monitoring the ‘Anubhav’ initiative, which seems to be his brainchild.

“The instructions may be circulated appropriately among all employees of the ministries and attached or subordinate offices and given wide publicity to encourage participation in ‘Anubhav’ as this project is being monitored at the highest levels,” the Department of Pensions and Pensioners’ Welfare wrote to all ministries on March 5, marking a copy to the Prime Minister’s Office. The charge of the department is with the Prime Minister.
