Jammu, June 14: Director General Social Welfare, Vivek Sharma today released the report of HelpAge India.
HelpAge India Jammu Team released its national report ‘Bridge the Gap: Understanding Elder Needs’ at the office of DG Social Welfare Jammu.
The report brings out some startling facts and forces one to re-look at the frame through which we view our elderly. Elders are today aspiring to work, they don’t want to be viewed as only dependents, but as contributing members of society.
Therefore, it is important that along with providing social protection for the poor & disadvantaged, we create an enabling environment for a large section of senior citizens who are willing and capable to contribute towards realising the longevity dividend.
HelpAge India, Jammu Team Members Neeru Sharma Khajuria and Purshotam Kumar also present on the occasion.
