Real examples of Productive Ageing



Yesterday, felt really amazed to meet and interact with six (50+) students of paraprofessional course of Nirmala Niketan. Was very happy to observe their motivation to gain more information on social issues and their eagerness and passion to apply that knowledge for the welfare of society. They are the real heroes, the real change makers and a perfect example of active and productive ageing.

I strongly wish that other senior citizens should take inspiration from them for not only leading an active and healthy life but also making a meaningful contribution to society.

I would also like to thank my friend Mr. Sailesh Mishra of Silver Inning Foundation for giving me an opportunity to join him in a discussion with those students at Nirmala Niketan Extension Centre, Goregaon.

Point to discuss: Have you come across any such examples of active and productive ageing?
