Senior centres provide people a safe place to gather where they can be among the people of their own age and not feel intimidated, Senior centres kill isolation ,lonliness ,stress and a sedentary lifestyle.t has been observed that majority of older people (60+) are comparatively healthier and active. After retirement they want to remain engaged and stay connected with the mainstream. With fast increasing role and importance of digital technology in day-to day life, old people are also eager to learn digital technology, modern skills, etc. Instead of becoming a burden on national / family resources,older people prefer to contribute their experience, knowledge and resources and remain self-reliant as long as they can.There is an urgent need to devise such frameworks that could ensure elder friendly environment in the society, where people can lead a more active, healthier and empowered life in old age.
