Planning for Retirement, as the name suggests, is a book of guidance for those who are dependent on service for their livelihood and are destined to retire from service on attaining certain stipulated age. The concept of planning for retirement has been assuming an added dimension with the changing socio-economic concept of today. Increase in the longevity of human life and the consequent lengthening of the post-retirement life, coupled with the emerging new economic order have made it imperative for the serving personnel of today to adopt a future oriented perspective in order to ensure for themselves a secured livelihood in the fall of their lives. The most positive aspect of this book is its invigorating approach to life. After retirement, mostly life is treated with disdain because of our preconceived notion. But this book strongly dispels the traditional impression and proclaims the dawn of a new new phase of contended life.
