Of course, one should be working towards their betterment every single day, but having a day dedicated to them helps in highlighting their issues better. Lucky are those who have a loving figure in the form of grandparents while growing up. Not only in families, but elderlies can also understand, guide and make invaluable contributions to society.

There is an increasing rise in the case of elder abuse and neglect worldwide, including India. It crops up from the mindset that older people are worthless and seen as a burden on them. Their lives are deemed meaningless as they're not 'young enough' to do certain things. They're either sent to old age homes and in the worst-case scenario, left to fend for themselves or horribly treated at 'home'. Just like kids, old people are also vulnerable to all these kinds of abuse and torture, and this is exactly what World Senior Citizen's Day is fighting against.
