On Monday, the elderly in the State will enjoy ‘Madhuram – Ormakalile Chirikoottu,’ a recreational gathering of senior citizens that is being organised at 50 centres across the State.
The Kudumbashree, at present, has 25,992 neighbourhood groups (NHGs) of the elderly with over 2.83 lakh members. Unlike other Kudumbashree NHGs, the NHGs of the elderly have some constraints in taking loans and starting new ventures, and so most of their activities involve around happiness, recreation, and well-being.
Madhuram will see the elderly Kudumbashree NHG members participate in gatherings but also other activities that are decided at district and community development society levels. Programmes will be organised from 10.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. for groups of at least 50 people.
