2. Rights of Senior
Citizens in India
Senior citizens group is projected to comprise
18% per cent of India’s total population by
2025. There are statutory provisions for
maintenance of parents under Hindu personal
law, and similar laws for other religions. Under
the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and
Senior Citizens Act, 2007 it is a legal obligation
for an heir or children to provide a monthly
allowance to her parents as maintenance

3. Rights of Senior
Citizens in India
Unfortunately a large part of the population is
unaware of them. This results in abuse of
elders by family. It is estimated that nearly
25% of the elderly population experiences
abuse by their sons, daughters-in-law, sons-
in-law, but never by daughters. It is ironic that
parents feel that birth of a girl child is a
burden on them! Most of the cases of abuse
are not reported, as the elders want to protect
family’s reputation in society

5. Our Projects for
Destitute Elders
We reach out to destitute elderly people and
help them to overcome poverty; in times of
natural calamities such as floods we rescue
the very old and very young people, who are
the most vulnerable. Elders have to grapple
with financial insecurity, morbidity, loneliness,
vulnerability, physical weakness, social
isolation and powerlessness. Their children
leave them in old age homes as they feel they
are a burden and need to take extra care
