There are approximately 81,00,000 senior citizens in India and nearly 30% of these senior citizens stay alone. Many Pan-Indian surveys have revealed that a sizeable chunk of this population face serious concerns related to their safety, security, health etc. Often, these senior citizens are physically incapacitated in some ways or the other, which prevents them from visiting a police station or any other agency for their safety and security. Many a times, they are not able to receive appropriate medical attention in times of crises and sometimes, certain legal issue pertaining to property and other matters leave them at a total loss as far as redressal of these problems is concerned.
