Project Point has always championed the cause of elder welfare and dignity. As part of our continued efforts, we recently organized a Senior Citizen Awareness Program at Samantarapur village, focusing on the Parent Maintenance Act.
This impactful session was held in collaboration with HelpAge India, Bhubaneswar Regional Office, and aimed to spread awareness among the community about the rights and entitlements of senior citizens under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007.
Community members actively participated in the dialogue
Legal experts highlighted key provisions of the Act
Elders shared their experiences and concerns
Youth volunteers pledged support for elderly care
Some heartwarming glimpses from the program reflect the intergenerational bonding and growing awareness around elder rights and responsibilities.
