THERE MAY BE QUESTION IN YOUR MIND
WHY TO SUPPORT OLD PEOPLE?
RIGHT????????
Actually there are many reasons but we ignore them so read below and get your reason to support them:
Today there are 77 million old people in India. This number is likely to rise to 177 million by 2025.
#90% of the older people are from unorganized sector with no social security.
#40% of the old live below poverty line.
#75% of the old are from the rural areas.
#55% of the women 60+ in age [a staggering 19 million] are widows.
#73% of the old are illiterate.
advanced age has been one of the greatest achievements of the 20th century. There are older people today than ever before and their number is on the increase.The last century was also responsible for rapid industrialization and urbanization. In India these developments brought about major changes in our social structure. The centuries old joint family system has disintegrated - with it collapsed the safety net of parents and grandparents.Since the welfare of the aged has been a low priority with the state they have nowhere to turn. They are left disillusioned, shattered and lonely.
