Blog Counters In the 21st Century, aging is the most challenging and urgent issue in developing countries in the world. It is the biological and psychological change in human life. The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India, has mentioned the age of the ‘senior citizen or old aged’ as 60 years old or above in ‘National Policy on Older Persons’ (January, 1999). Aged people face a lot of problems in society. They suffer from economic insecurity, health problem, insufficient shelter, mental disorder, loneliness and different sorts of inhuman treatments etc.
This empirical research work has been done in Dewli and Getugachhi Gram Panchayat of Chakdaha C.D. block in Nadia district of West Bengal. There are 139 respondents in 92 families have been interviewed through the method of purposive sampling. There are 73.40% aged people who have not any income source; they totally depend on son, daughter and grandson. Only 4.30% aged people have got old age pension. 52.50% of aged people have been suffering with two to four types of diseases at a time. The 51.80% of aged people have consulted with quack doctors due to their low level of income and 7.9% of aged people have been suffering from loneliness which may responsible for mental disorder of the aged people. Thus, this research study has been focused on socio-economic status of the aged people and tried to find out the feasible measures for the misery.
