A webinar was organized on 30th September 2020 from 11:30 am – 12:30 pm by the CSR Cell, VSBS, VIPS on “Maintenance and Welfare of Senior Citizens in India.” The webinar witnessed an audience of students from BBA and Bom(h). The speaker of the webinar was Dr. Tushti Bhardwaj (Assistant Professor, Department of Social Work, Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar College, University of Delhi) The main objective of the webinar was to remind the students of their responsibility towards senior citizens. It brought an opportunity to understand the nitty-gritty of Elderly Care to prepare oneself to take care of those who once cared for us. The speaker discussed old age as a period of physical declines such as a decline in
capabilities of their sensory organs resulting in loss of vision, hearing, smell, skin pigmentation, etc. with other psychological problems like loss of memory, difficulty in learning new things, feeling of isolation, loneliness, and anxiety. In a situation like this what they really want is the company of their children and grandchildren and to be loved and taken care of. The Indian culture encourages children to live with their parents and grandparents as a joint family but with the recent advent of modern culture, the children send their parents to old age homes or shelters to avoid the’ ‘burden’ of looking after their parents. The speaker’s only request was to look after those who brought you into this world and to meet them regularly and nurture them as a child as they did for us. To emphasize more that she advanced an Act presented by the Parliament of India in 2007. The objective of the act was enacted with a view to providing for more effective provisions for maintenance and welfare of the senior citizens, wherein the provisions included a monthly allowance of max 10,000 p/m, Medical support by providing extra beds in Govt. hospitals and separate queues for the senior citizens, and in case the children/relative fail to take care and maintain the elderly, the transfer of property would be considered void. In the end, she concluded by glorifying the senior citizens as a valuable resource and presented the different levels which engaged the elderly for community development.
