The dawn of liberalization has set in an accelerated pace of commercialization
and consumerism. In the wake of economic gains, traditions and values have been
consigned
to bins of history. The collapse of the joint family system accentuated by
a severe shortage
of housing stock has struck a deadly emotional blow on the elders
in the sunset of their
life. Geriatric has its attendant difficulties. Loneliness and helplessness
of the old has cast
a stigma on the society itself. In the traditional pioneering role that we
have been taking
all along to address issues concerning the people, the society initiated
a shelter for the old
and lends love and dignity to their residual life. |
