Srinagar/IBNS: The Government College for Women, M A Road in Srinagar last week organised a workshop on ‘Intergenerational Bonding’.

The department of Journalism and Mass Communication of the college in collaboration with National Institute of Social Defence, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, and Arungraha Regional Research and Training Centre on Ageing, Delhi curated the event.

The aim of it was to sensitise youth about the importance of elderly in the society and highlight the various issues faced by the senior citizens.

Vice Chancellor, Cluster University Srinagar, Prof. (Dr.) Qayyum Husain was the Chief Guest on the occasion.

Dr. Zubair in his address shared his experience as a geriatric consultant and a researcher to highlight the problems faced by senior citizens.

He cited statistics and some case studies during his elaborate presentation on the theme.

Advocate Bisma Khan spoke about the legal aspects of the theme and apprised the audience about the various provisions of Maintenance and Welfare of Senior Citizens Act. 

In his address, Vice Chancellor of Cluster University, Srinagar, Prof. (Dr.) Qayyum Husain, highlighted the role of society in addressing the issue.

“We should not expect the government to do everything. We can do a lot at our own individual level and as a society. For instance, charity is a central tenet of  Islam and a religious obligation. We can use it also to build old age homes for such  elderly people who have been abandoned by their families,” Prof. Qayyum said.
