World Veterans Day is celebrated all over the world on August 21, the day was started by former US President Ronald Reagan, after which this day was celebrated in the whole world by dedicating it to the elders, but in spite of all this In today's time, the condition of elderly people in the country is quite pathetic. This can be gauged from the increasing number in old age .Although many plans have been made by the Central and State Governments for the care of the elderly, yet much remains to be done for the elderly. Even though India is a country of youth, the number of old people in the country is constantly increasing. At present, the number of elderly people in the country is around 12 crore, which will reach around 17 crore 30 lakh in 2025.
