Social security and provisional plans for retirement are hardly realistic for people from economically poor environment. Since the traditional family structures are splitting up in India as well, the problems for old people to find a secure place in society are rapidly increasing.

In June 2003, the founders have taken up 2 abandoned old men into the ashram's fold & care, on the grounds of lacking family support and poverty. Since then more and more old people came to the ashram to ask for a place to stay and help.

Consequently, an old-age home was constructed where 10 elderly persons could be provided with all the necessities of life (free shelter, food, clothes, hygienic articles and medical care).

In the year 2009, the construction of two block buildings with rooms for 25 elderly people was completed. The second block was completed in December 2009.

Now, in August 2011, all the rooms are fully occupied with elderly people without family support and very poor financial background. The Aum Pranava Vridhashram has mostly widows who have served their children’s families until the physical structure could not bear heavy work anymore.

The demand for new rooms is incredibly high!
