While conveying my good wishes for New Year to our readers of Monthly Newspaper “Elderly News”, we have been able to launch this paper containing four colour pages from New Year even without collecting any advertisement in a short notice and also to utilize the space to cover maximum news concerning senior citizens of Delhi
through Senior Citizens Council of Delhi affiliated with Confederation of Senior Citizens Associations of Delhi (an umbrella body of 11 lakh senior citizens). The Council is also organizing various daily activities such as social, cultural, yoga, talk, interactive session, spiritual discourses etc by the renowned personalities on various issues at Deer Park, near Hauz Khas village between 7 am and 8 am in which senior citizens are participating in a large number particularly lonely. The Council/Confederation is also represented in Delhi Govt. State Council of Senior Citizens & National Council of Senior Citizens, Govt. of India respectively stands committed to the cause and care of elderly particularly with the active support & guidance of its President/Chairperson, Shri J.R.Gupta who has devoted himself fully to this noble cause including protection of lonely and destitute senior citizens from abuses and humiliations at the hands of their own children and others. A number of such cases have already been solved. Shri. Gupta has been instrumental to motivate 83 registered SCA’s so far in the fold of Confederation. In the past, senior citizens were not aware of about the various privileges/benefits being extended by Delhi Govt./Govt. of India. In order to continue interaction among our readers regularly all news concerning senior citizens and activities organized by all the affiliated Associations with the Confederation including news from Delhi Govt., Govt. of India, Delhi Police and Help Age India (Permanent Advisor of Confederation) would be covered. With your active support, we have been able to achieve a lot for senior citizens of Delhi till date such as recreational grants and maximum old age monthly pension etc. as compared to other States across the Country, yet we have to achieve more and call upon to join hands for the cause of unity to enable us to achieve our final goal in this field. In this direction, we would meet the new Chief Minister and Social Welfare Minister shortly. I hope “Elderly News” will become a valuable instrument among our readers to interact with each other regularly.
