The Welfare of the Aged has caught the attention of the development workers as well as Governments.

The year 1999 was declared as International Year of the Old Persons. The UNO has initiated Welfare Programs for the Aged. The Indian Government prepared A National Policy for the Older Persons and implementing integrated Programs for Older Persons. NGOs of National and International were taken up many interventions for the Welfare of Old Age People. In spite of several Welfare Programs, the conditions of Old Age People are very Pathetic particularly in rural areas and urban slums of KURNOOL District.

The Aged were deprived of many choices. The Aged last the traditional leadership and respect. The changed Social scenario and attitude of Younger Generations created many problems to the Aged. The sons and relatives of the Aged are Neglecting and Humiliating. Some of the Aged People are starving and begging in the Streets, Bus-Stands, Railway Stations, Market Places, etc., therefore, interventions needed for the Aged to lead a happy and dignified life till their last breath. Their Wisdom and Capabilities should not be waste and unproductive. They should provided with Psychological and Emotional support. Many Old People are Widows and Widowers.
