1. Welfare Projects for Elderly in Kurnool
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

2. 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.
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

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
