The Keralam government has decided to form a neighbourhood elder support network from the ward level up to ensure a strong social support mechanism for the elderly.
Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan had recently announced that the network would ensure a neighbourhood’s attention to the elderly and their needs. It would have digital data on the elderly and the level of their vulnerability in each ward and would function in coordination with the care-giving force that the government planned to create. This should be made possible since those who needed special attention among the elderly were not many in number, he had said.
