💨 Abstract

Former Union Minister Suresh Prabhu emphasized the need for more old age homes due to increased life expectancy and the lack of emotional support for the elderly. He suggested reviving the concept of gurukul, a residential learning setup, for old age homes, and called for organizations working for elderly people to share best practices. He also highlighted that technologies alone cannot resolve the issues faced by the elderly, and what they need is emotional care and connection.
