The National Policy for Older Persons (NPOP) 1999 India Sailesh Mishra
The Indian government after many years of debate finally declared the National Policy of the Older Persons in January 1999, the International Year of the Older Persons. The policy highlights the rising elderly population and an urgent need to understand and deal with the medical, psychological and socio-economic problems faced by the elderly. However what the policy did emphasize was on the dominant role the non governmental organizations should play to assist the government in bringing forth a society where the needs and the priorities of the elderly are taken into account. It recognized the Older Persons as a Resource of the Country.
This presentation at a geriatrics conference is targeted at physicians. It raises awareness of elder abuse as a rarely examined cause of morbidity and mortality.
a presentation containing brief information of governmental policy in India for elderly and is reliable for first year, second year and third year students of bachelors of social work.

Feminization of Ageing : "Being a male-dominated society and given the fact that women in India rely on their husbands for the provision of economic resources and social status, a large percentage of older women are at risk of dependency, isolation, and/or dire poverty and neglect."
In the daily busy lifestyles, taking care of the elder parents sometimes becomes a tough job. Moreover, children who dwell in the foreign countries have no time for their aged parents neither have any time to ask about their well-being. Because of these factors, the aged parents often suffer from isolation, financial insecurity and feel that they are a burden to the family. To address all such social issues, Aumorto Senior Living is here to meet the needs of the old parents and to keep them happy for the rest of their life. They are provided with a amiable atmosphere, where they can feel free and connected to the nature.
this is an act / omission done directly or indirectly to violate the right of older adult. this may be negligence, financial, material, sexual exploitation, that impact negatively on their physical, social and mental health
"Trees grow stronger over the years, rivers wider. Likewise, with age, human beings gain immeasurable depth and breadth of experience and wisdom. That is why older persons should be not only respected and revered; they should be utilized as the rich resource to society that they are”: United Nations Ex. Secretary-General Kofi Annan

above belonging to SEC category B / C and D. The study used mixed method approach for data collection. The field work was carried out by HelpAge and Ipsos Research Private Limited during May 2018.

TIME TO DELIVER - WHO Report on NCD's 2018 Sailesh Mishra
Report of the WHO Independent High-Level Commission on Noncommunicable Diseases - ISBN 978-92-4-151416-3.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with its
pledge to leave no one behind, is our boldest agenda for
humanity. It will require equally bold actions from Heads of
State and Government. They must deliver on their timebound
promise to reduce, by one-third, premature mortality
from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) through prevention
and treatment and promote mental health and well-being.
Because many policy commitments are not being
implemented, countries are not on track to achieve this
target. Country actions against NCDs are uneven at best.
National investments remain woefully small and not
enough funds are being mobilized internationally. There is
still a sense of business-as-usual rather than the urgency
that is required. Plenty of policies have been drafted, but
structures and resources to implement them are scarce.

4. India is a vast country both in terms of area as well as
population. It has a total area of 3,288,000 square
kilometers. Its Total population as on 2011 was over
1.25 Billion
India is gradually undergoing a demographic
change. With decline in fertility and mortality rates
accompanied by an improvement in child survival and
increased life expectancy, a significant feature of
demographic change is the progressive increase in the
number of elderly persons
Elderly are the most ignored and neglected
segment
Silver Inning Foundation 4
5. Due to better medical facility, good lifestyle
longevity increase
In 2008 India population of Elderly was around 8% of
total population 86 Million
In 2014 Elder Population approx 104 million, 174
million projected in by 2026, 356 Million in 2050
Average age in 1951 – 42 yrs, Average age in 2008 -

9. In India, old age was never a problem. Elder
abuse was considered as a ‘western’
problem and old age home was an alien
concept.
Earlier, the elderly persons of a family were
respected a lot and they continued to live
with respect till their death.
Times have changed. The elders are treated
as burden, often neglected / ignored and the
story is different if you suffer from some
form of Dementia / disability or you are
Caregiver for your parents/elders or you are
in sandwich generation
Silver Inning Foundation 9
10. • Everyone in this World faces varieties of problems. But
there might be indescribable suffering in old age. No
one wants to grow old. But the force of inevitable
time, everyone has to grow old. An aged person now
termed, as Senior citizen becomes unwanted
‘person’ in the family. This is the harsh reality.
Therefore, it becomes necessary to make you aware of
your rights.
• Human Rights are universal, civil, political,
economic, social and cultural rights and belong to
all human beings, including older people. Human
Rights of aged are explicitly set out in the Universal
Declaration and International Conventions as well as in
the Constitution of India.
Silver Inning Foundation 10
11. • An adequate standard of living, including adequate
food, shelter and clothing.
• Adequate social security, assistance and protection
• Freedom from discrimination
• The highest possible standard of health
• Be treated with dignity
• Protection from neglect and all types of physical or
mental abuse
• Full and effective participation in decision-making
concerning their well-being

13. Elder abuse as a social problem remains
hidden.
Least researched topic with very little
intervention.
According to pan-Indian surveys, 40% of
elderly subject to some form of abuse
Elderly are equally responsible
We consider it as “Family Matter”
Few Intervention by Government and Society
More abuse done by Family and Relative 55%
More Abuse incase of Dementia/Alzheimer's
Hardly any report on Elder abuse in Old Age
Homes and Institutions
14. Single repeated act
Lack of appropriate action
Occurring within any relationship where there is
an expectation of trust
Harming development of his/her personality
Elder Abuse is infliction of Physical, emotional
or psychological harm on an Elderly. Alder
Abuse also can take the form of Financial
exploitation or intentional or unintentional
neglect of an Elderly by the care givers or third
party.
15. Physical
Sexual
Emotional or Psychological
Financial and Exploitation
Neglect
Abandonment
16. Physical abuse can range from slapping or shoving
to severe beatings and restraining with ropes or
chains.
When a person uses enough force to cause
unnecessary pain or injury
It can be hitting , beating, pushing ,kicking,
pinching, burning or biting or depriving of food,
medicine and water
17. Emotional or psychological abuse can range
from name- calling or giving the ‘silent
treatment’ to intimidating and threatening the
individual.
When family member or care giver or other
person behaves in a way that causes fear,
mental anguish and emotional pain or
distress
It also includes insults and threats
It also includes treating older person like a
child and isolating the person from family
,friends and regular activity
18. Financial exploitation can misuse of an elder’s
funds
It includes fraud , taking money under false
pretenses , forgery ,forced property transfer ,
Scams , using elderly money to purchase
expensive items without knowledge or

attorney
Illegal or unauthorized use of a person’s
property
19. Neglect can include to failure to provide food,
water, clothing, medication and assistance of
activity for daily living
Avoiding
No paying attention to the psychological and
social needs
Sometime Elderly HARM themselves through
Self Neglect – not eating ,not going to doctor
,not taking medicine, alcohol/drug abuse –
Problem – how to respect their independence
and when to intervene
20. Elder abuse can also include deserting an
elderly, dependent person with the intent to
abandon them or leave them unattended at a place
for such a time period as may be likely to endanger
their health or welfare
21. Abuse creates potentially dangerous
situation and feelings of worthlessness
and it isolates elderly from people who can
help
Many of us don’t consider Elder Abuse as
Health Issue and so we don’t try to intervene
as we consider this more as a social problem
and not a health care problem
It affects body, feelings, thoughts, and
behaviors to varying degrees
Untreated medical or mental conditions
22. Elderly are physically weaker and more vulnerable
-their bones are more brittle and healing takes
longer
Even a minor injury can cause serious and
permanent damage
Untreated injury and Pain

40 % of older people living with their families are
reportedly facing abuse of one kind or another
Only 1 in 6 cases actually comes to light .
Most elders are ill-treated by their own children,
who have emerged as the largest group of
perpetrators at 47.3 %.
Neglect is the most common form of abuse at
48.7 % followed by emotional/psychological, financial
