Abhoy Mission

The frame of the society has been changed in such a way that the undivided families are broken and nuclear families are formed. The nuclear families are confined within the spouse and their children. There is no meaningful place of older persons in the family. As a result the Senior Citizens of both categories are neglected and lonely. The tradition of showing respect and dignity to the older persons is not being maintained. The later generation does not feel the value and necessity of the experience of the older persons. We, the head of the family, cannot impart a proper lesson to our next generation in regard to good treatment to the older persons. In the modern age, it is observed that the parents are busy with the education of their children and they do not have time to spare for the older persons of the family. They are being deprived of having affection of their grandparents. Those who did not have the affection the grandparents cannot realize the taste of this heavenly feeling.
