Elderly people in the society are an asset and not a burden. Recognizing them as senior citizens and giving them due care and respect is responsibility of the society. Unfortunately, diminishing social values and increasing societal discrimination have deprived the elderly people of their right to physical and emotional care and in many cases the right to proper shelter.

The situation demands civil society and media to play their role in sensitizing the society about the need, care and respect of elderly people.
