The Senior Citizen Welfare Scheme is a social support initiative aimed at ensuring the well-being, dignity, and security of elderly citizens. The scheme focuses on addressing the financial, healthcare, and social needs of senior citizens so they can live their later years with independence and respect.

It provides support through old-age pensions, healthcare services, legal aid, and social welfare programs. The scheme also promotes access to medical care, protection from abuse and neglect, and awareness of legal rights for senior citizens.

In addition, the initiative strengthens institutional support such as old-age homes, day-care centres, and community programs, encouraging active ageing and social participation. By improving access to care and protection, the scheme helps ensure that senior citizens can lead safe, healthy, and dignified lives.
