Honoring Our Elders
The International Day of Older Persons is observed every year on October 1st, established by the United Nations in 1990. It was initiated to raise awareness about issues affecting the elderly and to appreciate their contributions to society.
Respecting Senior Citizens
In India, the International Day of Older Persons is celebrated through awareness programs, health camps, and cultural events organized by NGOs and senior citizen groups. The day focuses on promoting the welfare, rights, and dignity of the elderly in society.
