1. NGO FOR ELDERLY
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
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
