Organisation working for the Elderly in India

Ageing is the natural process and there is big rise in number of people who are aged. Globilisation and changing family values bring problem for our Elders. But luckily in India we have some good organisation working for Senior Citizens. With my experience in Elder Care I have compiled a list of such Organisation with comments which will help the elderly, their family members, corporate and common man.

I hope the government and corporate sector will be more proactive with Elder issues and management.

Corporate sector should include Elder in their CSR, so that there will be enough funds and volunteer working for senior citizens.

Let more NGO join the forces of Elder Care and let our Elder live with Dignity and Peace. I have started work on dedicated website for Elder and to be more effective with networking with other organisation and forming a new NGO.
