President’s Report for 2018-2019 – Elder Care Committee
Under the programme called Ananda Yaan, we have started Day Care Centres for the aged at Dadar and Byculla with the objective that elders who belong to economically-weaker sections of society can enjoy some happiness in the evening of their lives. We have supported an old age home at Ambernath for several years. This project has impacted more than 50,000 lives. We recently opened a new centre at Dr. E. Moses Road.
