The NPS contributions are managed by Govt/PSU Fund Managers; viz ,  LIC Pension Fund, SBI Pension Fund and UTI Retiremement Solutions.The Central Government has now decided giving option for the depositors to invest in private pension fund thus exposing the hard earned money to the vagaries of share market. It is to be noted that some of these private funds are in loss, which may result in loss of NPS investments also.  Therefore be careful about same before giving option.

Good news for Delhi citizens. Delhi has come out of the bad name of the’Worst Polluted City’ in the world. According  to data released by World Health Organisation (WHO), Delhi is only at the 11th position in World. It is below in pollution to Gwalior (2nd), Allahabad(3rd), Patna(6th) and Raipur(7th). Zabol in Iran is the most polluted in the world at No.1.  AAP Government in Delhi deserves appreciation and support in reducing pollution through its manyfold actions, though  BJP, Congress, private car manufacturers and some interested parties have criticised the moves for their own self interest. They should understand that health of citizens are more important than either their political or profit concerns.
