As the pandemic hit the Nation, people were not only more concerned about their health but also for their well being. Drastic fall in income and increased unemployment forced many individuals to abandon their old parents. Thus, there is a rise in the number of admissions and enquiries at Old Age Homes in Bihar.

Elderly citizens are at high risk for COVID infection, and in many cases, they are facing poverty, ignorance, and isolation. Hindrise Social Welfare Foundation is reaching out to the older adults in rural and urban areas with free meals, masks, sanitizers, free medicines, hospital transportation, and everything else they want during the tough COVID phase.

Shri Narendra Kumar, the founder of the Hindrise Social Welfare Foundation, said, “Since April 2021, we started receiving calls seeking admission for elderly ones of the family. We even had an enquiry from a 60-year old father who lost both his sons due to a Covid-19 infection. It’s unfortunate that millions of people have lost the breadwinner of the family.’’

Can you think for a moment how an elderly person can survive without his wife, whom he has lost four years back and now has lost his both sons? There are many cases in which parents are being abandoned, and this thing has broken us from within and pushed us to do something for the welfare of elderly people in Bihar.

After observing the condition of elderly ones, Hindrise Founder Narendra Kumar came up with the great idea of building old age homes in Bihar under the mentorship of Swami Paripurna Anand Ji. It should be the duty of every individual to hold the hands of our parents in their old ages.

Your contribution can help an elder survive and bring a ray of positivity and hope throughout this uncertain time.
