What you'll learn
Aging is a natural process. It is bound to make a person feel weak and dependent. The elderly are the most precious section of our society and need to be properly treated. They are very experienced and knowledgeable people. Proper laws have been enacted by the Government of India to protect senior citizens.
Constitutional provisions, article 41 and 46 awards the right to work, to education, and to public assistance. Taking care of parents is a legal as well as moral obligation.
Different religions have enacted laws towards this effect so that no parent or elderly individual is mistreated. Learn all about this in greater detail in this course designed by Medvarsity and Dosily.
