The move of Haryana Government for opening old age home in every district of the state is a welcome step. The scheme can be better implemented with self-financing of the individuals who wish to live in old age home willingly and not because of the family compulsions. Such a person can be the trustee till death and later rights can be transferred to the old age home under PPP mode. There is an economic rationale also with user pay principle, at least by those who can afford and free for those who cannot.

The illness in the behaviour of senior citizens is more serious than the old age diseases. Being alert, No one wants to be a burden on their children when one becomes dependent with physical disabilities. We must have empathy with the children who are in jobs and live in limited space. Moreover, they have the right to enjoy their freedoms and look after their children with more responsibilities than the older generation.
