Today, the social-economic scenario of the country (having changed drastically from joint-family to nuclear-family system) has forced both the spouses to seek employment to sustain the family. This has resulted in a new set of multi-fold problems faced by aged parents . These problems range from:

• lack of security at home,
• feeling of loneliness and
• unavailability of urgent help during medical emergency, etc.

One of the biggest challenges faced by senior citizens is social isolation. Many seniors live alone, and their families may be too busy to spend time with them regularly. This can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression. Additionally, seniors may have mobility issues that make it difficult/impossible to remain engage in social activities.

Another challenge faced by seniors is access to healthcare. According to Help Age India survey, only 35% of seniors have health insurance. This means that many seniors may struggle to afford medical treatment when they need it. Additionally, there may be long wait times to see doctors or specialists, and the quality of care may be subpar.

Finally, seniors may also face financial challenges. Many are retired and living on fixed incomes, which can make it difficult to cover their basic expenses. Additionally, some seniors may have been victims of financial fraud or scams, which can further deplete their savings.

Senior citizens face a variety of challenges that can have an impact on their physical and emotional well-being. It is critical for society to address these issues and provide seniors with the assistance they require to live healthy and fulfilling lives.

All these social considerations resulted in formation of SWARNA CHARITABLE TRUST for extending a supportive hand to these deprived seniors to lead a worry free peaceful life at the fag end of their journey.
