It seems that things are really moving in right direction in Bihar. It is really good initiative from the State Government for its Senior Citizens. This move was long awaited.
Very fact that at this age people feel lonely and require some company and it will be absolutely fine if they are getting company of same age group, where they can have conversation and can share their thoughts. It will promote harmony among veterans.
At this age people usually get lot of time and they don’t find nice way to spend their time but here they can devote their time in Library, Yoga etc.
I really appreciate this move from my core of the heart. I wish all the best to this initiative.
