5 Reasons How the Elderly Can Continue their Importance and Contribution to Society:
Keeping physically fit: Seniors must remain fit both physically and mentally.
Becoming a Family Mentor: “The wisdom and sharing of knowledge by elderly will go a long way in creating an ideal ambience for families. Families are at the core of any society and therefore, good and well-knit families will lead to betterment of society.”

Actively Contribute to Society: Seniors can contribute to society through engaging in activities such as taking up part time work with an NGO.
Way Forward: “ It is not enough to live for oneself; it is equally important to live for others. This is the only way any society can progress to growth and prosperity. One’s aim in life should be to do whatever he / she can, for the society and nation till the last minute. As it is said, it is not important how long you live, but it is relevant how well you live for others!! “
