Navodaya Old Age Home
Navodaya Seva Sangam(NSS) located in Mahbubnagar District, Now in Rangareddy Dist; Telangana State in India is working for the amelioration of rural livelihoods in all spheres. The basic concept of the organization is ‘achieving economic development through capacity building and empowerment’. NSS believes that capacity-building efforts empower an individual to possess requisite skills, awareness, understanding of circumstances prevailing, judicious care for opportunities available and optimum utilization of the same, etc., such people are bound to adopt the path of sustainable economic development. However, these ideological concepts can be materialized only through a collective approach.
As part of development and welfare and need-based activities. we are running an Old age home for the last 15 years with 30 inmates.
In India, we have a traditional and respective family relation from the old centuries. We have a perfect frame of family sentiments and this culture transferring from generation to generation. Continuing last 100 decades. Unfortunately, youth are getting attracted by foreign jobs and culture. They are leaving their parents alone, in turn, the elders are depending on others and searching for shelters. As per an independent survey, only 30% of elders are in a good situation, 20% of elders are living on their own without depending on others. Fifty percent of the remaining aged people do not have any source of income and are left alone with diseases without any support and searching for shelter. We found in an independent survey that aged people after 80-90+, are facing many problems and difficulty in getting a decent funeral. Nobody co-operates in this tragic situation. To support such destitute old aged people in Ranga Reddy District, Telangana, India we are running an Old age home.
Old Age Home is situated in Shadnagar Mandal Hqs, Ranga Reddy District, Telangana, India running with qualified and committed personal. The shelter accommodates senior citizens who have crossed 60+ years of age and who have been driven away by their family members. We are providing them shelter, clothes, nutrition and balanced diet including physical and psychological support through many services with dedication and commitment and helping the aged in leading their lives in peace and happiness.
In addition, we have arranged a qualified Doctor to provide medical facilities and regular check-ups, for the inmate’s health. We are also providing different recreational activities and social activities like tree plantation, devotional prayers, helping them relax. In addition, we are integrating women groups to empower. We are happy to say that these old people are content with our love and affection and no longer feeling bitterness towards their family members for deserting them.
