IPSRC provides grants to hundreds of projects for senior citizens, including shelter, food, healthcare, and entertainment.
The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment runs the IPSRC welfare schemes across the states.
The aid is provided via NGOs, states, union territory administrations, the Panchayati Raj institutions, and other local bodies.
These homes have a dormitory of 7.5 sq. meters per resident, a separate bed, a hygienic toilet and a kitchen, a medical and recreational room, and a dining hall.
These homes provide residents with nutritious food, books, newspapers, games, and a computer with an internet connection for recreational purposes.
These homes have proper security, and seniors are provided with at least four pairs of clothing yearly with storage for belongings.
One can call the toll-free helpline number 14567, which is operational in 31 states and union territories.
