2] We are ignored again - The budgets announced this year both by the Centre
and States have ignored the interests of Senior Citizens. While the Centre did
accept some of our demands in the 2011 budgets, most of the State Governments
have been completely indifferent. Through the Protest Day on August 16 we will try
to make our rulers conscidus of the fact that this indifference towards our issues
hurts the 10 Crore Senior Citizen Community and is not acceptable ..
Our Focus this year will be the non-performing State Governments, particularlythose which have not implemented NPOP, MWPSC Act, IGNOAP Scheme etc or
have done so only partially. Healthcare for Senior Citizens and separate ministry /
department for them at Centre and States will also be our demands ..

A Central Joint Action Committee (hitherto based at Hyderabad) has been formed in Mumbai with Sri
MB Kulkarni and Sri Sailesh Mishra as National Convener and co-ordinator and Sri Anil Kaskhedikar
as co-ordinator for Maharashtra. Other names of associations, persons and institutions joining us will
be announced soon.
The above Committee will shortly communicate further details such as the activities [to be conducted in
peaceful and dignified manner], background information, slogans, quotations, letters of appeal, details
of Post Card Campaign, persons to be contacted etc. etc. A website has been created namely
http://scnpd-2012.posterous.com/to keep everyone informed ..
3] Landmark judgement of AP Human Rights Commission - In most of the Old Age Homes in our
Country the BPL residents are denied Old Age Pension, right to vote and health care even when these
facilities are available to the BPL population of the State. The excuse for this tragic situation is that they
do not possess a proof of identity. It is not unexpected as most of them are either illiterate or
abandoned by their families. If a resident falls sick he is left to his fate because neither he nor the Old
Age Home have the resources to provide proper health care. Often the family of the resident is asked
to take him back, but generally the family does not respond for obvious reasons.
APSCCON in AP felt that denial of these basic facilities was a breach of Human Rights of the
residents. Accordingly a petition was filed before the SHRC in 2010 and after two years of hearings and
arguments, the SHRC passed a judgement on January 9, 2012 asking the State Government to do asfollows,
1] to arrange visit of an administrative officer periodically to each OAH to identify BPL inmates
and issue the Ration Card/Health Card/Identity Card to the eligible on the spot.
2] to cover them under health insurance on the basis of the above.
3] to ensure payment of Old Age Pension and enrollment as voters using the above cards as
proof of identity.
The SHRC has given AP Government 5 months to implement the order. It is possible that other States
may also accept it as an example and may implement similar arrangement. We therefore, have to
discuss it with the concerned authorities in other States
Soft copy of the Appeal and Judgement of SHRC-along with an explanatory note can be forwarded if
required.
4]Good news from Guwahati - Assam appears to be the only State which is concerned with the
problems of Senior Citizens and intends to take action to mitigate them. According to a news item the
Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has assured the Senior Citizens of Assam that the State Government would
offer all the facilities and services to the elderly section of the citizens within the limits of the
State's financial resources. He said so in reply to a memorandum submitted to him by a delegation.
The delegation was led by Kamaleswar Bora, president of the Assam Senior Citizens' Association
(ASCA) included ON Chakravartty, Tabiul Hussain and Prafulla Kumar Mahanto. The delegation also
mentioned about the urgency of implementation of the Maintenance of Parents and Welfare of SeniorCitizens Act-2007.
The Chief Minister was also requested to raise the quantum of pension to the elderly persons of below
poverty line (BPL), and to ensure that no undeserving persons were given the benefits only because ofpolitical manipulation.
