Upholding the rights of aged

Roop Gramin India is the leading advocate for Older People's rights. We speak up for India's 90 million (current estimate) grey population to help them live with dignity, independence & self-fulfilment.

Roop Gramin's Chief Executive represents the organisation on the National Planning Commission. We have been providing various inputs during formal/ informal discussions to India's 11th Five Year Plan Document. Roop Gramin has actively participated in discussions for formulating the Union Ministry recommendations on the Plan document to the National Planning Commission. Roop Gramin is also a member of the National Council of Older Persons.

  Our role is that of an enabler between two groups of people.

   - development organisations and individuals working at grassroots-level with marginalised 
      Elders, their families and communities,

   - people like you, coming together from all walks of life who believe in the rights of the
     Aged

Why do the Aged need Help?

   - We advocate with national & local government to bring about policy that is beneficial to
      the elderly.

   - We make society aware of issues concerning the aged and promote better understanding
      of them.

   - We help the elderly be aware of their rights and provide access to them.
