“Retirement age will be increased for medical personnel who opt to work in the hill districts of the state.”
Times of India reported in February 2025 that Uttarakhand extended the retirement age of specialist doctors from 60 to 65, benefiting about 550 doctors and particularly helping rural and remote hill districts. This substantially matches the intent, but I did not verify the manifesto's exact opt-in hill-district condition or coverage of broader medical personnel beyond specialist doctors. Budget status: salary/service-liability implications exist, but no separate allocation was isolated.
Times of India reported that the state extended specialist doctors' retirement age to 65, with expected benefit for remote hill districts.
