1. Read the following passage carefully:
1. When we are young, we don't recognise that
there will be a time when our limbs will go
weak, our eye-sight less sharp and our body
less agile than before. A family, the state and
the society shoulder the responsibility towards
senior citizens.
2. Unfortunately, of late, we have not been able to
recognise the concept of respecting, caring and
helping older generations in a systematic way
as some of the countries in the west have been
doing. This is not to suggest that our culture
and history do not recognise this phase of life.
There have been many practices of caring and
helping old people in our system. But, with
the dismantling of the joint family system, the
problem has assumed graver and more complicated
proportions. Although we have started recognising
the needs of the young generation but when
it comes to the older generation, we have quite
comfortably chosen to ignore them and leave
them to fend for themselves.
3. The modern era is the era of old-age homes. There
are residential units for lower income groups in
particular districts where there is a part-time
medical officer to attend to the inmates. Then
there are day-care centres and mobile medicare
services besides other NGOs (Non Government
Organisations).
4. Old-age homes in the country are not only
inadequate but also ill-equipped to cater to the
needs of the old inmates. This should be the
responsibility of the state to keep close and regular
monitoring. The social welfare departments in
the Government have very little to boast when it
comes to caring for older generation.
5. Society, too has an important role to play. It
must take up the charge of respecting the aged
and placing them ahead of any other interest.
In the western countries when an old person is
climbing down the stairs, he or she is assisted.
It is this kind of mindset, which is the greatest
need of the hour. While travelling in a public
transport, offering seats to the old, helping
them across the roads, assisting them carry their
bags fetching them water etc. are some gestures
which increase acceptability of old people.
6. In the family also, the senior citizens deserve a
better deal. If they are thrown out of the homes,
the state is not to be blamed. The state is providing
everything to their families. Therefore the old
ones have the right to be recognised as important
members. Sending old parents to deposit electricity
bills, asking them to fetch children from schools
and to guard the house while the rest of the family
is away, are some of the many fold tasks which are
thrust upon them, which is nonetheless enslaving
the weakest class of people.​
