Does Delhi have sufficient Old Age Home

Most of the senior citizens  have to  spend their life in old age home either happily or forcefully. Happy are those who have no one in this world to live with they don't have any families and forcefully are those who has their family, their home but their children don't want to live with them and send them to old age home.

Now the question aries that 'how many old age home do we have to provide shelter to our senior citizens who are very important part of our society and if I truly express my self our society is incomplete without them.

According to a report of Hindustan Times  senior citizens constitute over 10% of Delhi's population that is not a big section according to whole population but a important section and large number of people 1.86 crore, yet there are only two government-run old age homes in the capital. Apart from this, there are 48 old-age homes in Delhi NCR run by NGOs and trusts where the average minimum cost incurred by a senior citizen is about R 4,000 per month.

Two government old age home is not enough for the homeless old people especially in the capital of our country in Delhi. So, government should look after this issue.
