The
persons who sacrificed to brighten our future are forced by us to get out from
our lives when they grow old…
In
this so-called modern society, everything has reserved. The clear idea has
shown by our younger generation that how they dub their elder by rejecting them
as old-fashioned. Without any regret majority among us crush emotions,
sentiments and disrespect honour and dignity of parents and grand parents.
Thanks
God for our Government of India, some private and nonprofit institutions that
they have started working for old-age homes otherwise maximum poor parents and
grand pas would have to live on the street. Even, we should appreciate our
Indian culture that at least we have been learning from our childhood to
respect elders by choice or by forcefully. Otherwise, majority would not
hesitate to say goodbye to parents because they are not comfortable to return
little bit to them.
Listen!
Among many non profit organizations, Rehab is one of them. It aims to sensitise
the youth where it is active and one of the prime location is the Model Village
in Assam where recently it has celebrated Elderly Day.
Rehab
celebrated Elder Day at Rehab Model Village in Assam. Total 73 parents and
grand parents participated. They arranged to realise the beauty of their
time-the beauty of their culture, values and norms. They were called to
experience their lost respect and power when they were supposed to be the head
of their family.
Different
competitions were organised to entertain them. During Ghazal competitions, five
participants from each group participated enthusiastically in the programme.
And, quiz competition was organised between both the groups. At the end, prizes
were distributed to the winners.
Interacting
with Mr. Saravana Kumar, Project Manager, he said, “The programme was organised
to listen oldage people. They have lot of things which they would like to share
but due to neglection they have glued their lips. But this is our duty to
sensitise our people that if you are doing wrong with their parents then they
have to be ready for their turn because their kids will learn from their behaviour.”
