OUR WORK
Research & Policy Advocacy
HelpAge India works for the inclusion of concerns and rights of senior citizens in the policies of the government. To this end, it works with civil society, the judiciary, legislators and the government both at the Centre and in the various states.
The promulgation of The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 and the Draft – National Policy for Senior Citizens, 2011 are recent successes in the Elder Rights area where the contribution of HelpAge India has been highly significant.

HelpAge’s Reports and Journals
HelpAge India is recognised as a one-stop destination for information on the aging scenario in India. It earns this reputation by releasing a number of publications and reports pertaining to this area, every year. HelpAge India has a full-fledged Policy Research and Development department, which studies and collates information on this subject. This section gives access to all of our research-based publications.
