Madikeri, Nov 12: Children should be taught human values alongside higher education, and they must be encouraged to show care and concern for the elderly, urged Shubha, Senior Civil Judge and Member Secretary of the District Legal Services Authority.
She spoke while inaugurating a health and medical check-up camp for senior citizens, held at the hall of the Child Welfare Institution in the city. The event was organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment (Government of India), the Karnataka State Legal Services Authority, the Department of Women and Child Development, the Department for the Empowerment of Differently-Abled and Senior Citizens, the District Administration, the Zilla Panchayat, and various voluntary organizations working for senior citizens.
It is everyone’s duty to treat senior citizens with love, respect, and patience. A parent’s responsibility does not end with providing higher education to their children or helping them attain high-ranking positions; it is equally important to instill human values, good character, and respect for the elderly in them.
In recent times, improvements in medical facilities have led to an increase in the lifespan of senior citizens. However, longevity alone is not enough; it is essential to ensure they receive proper care, love, and mental peace during their old age. One should not neglect the elderly but rather interact with them with patience and understanding. He said that those who are young today must realize that old age will come to them one day.
