Old age is a real truth of life which considered the second childhood of a person. This is the time when old persons want to receive something from them to whom they have devoted their whole life and at that time they need more love, respect and time from their children but children are busy to give a beautiful life to their own children. In this way old persons are being neglected by their children and society and forced to live a meaningless and painful life either in old age home or in their own home. In ancient time the position of parents was very good and they were treated as living God or Goddess for their children. Grand Parents plays a very important role to develop a child to be a well cultured person. But in present scenario due to the nuclear family system the feelings of the children towards their parents are changing day by day. Nowadays children are become so practical and they want to live their life without any interfere and parents are only a burden for them. So the responsibility to maintain the parents has been shifted from children to Government. No doubt different legislation and welfare schemes and policies for elderly have been implemented by the Government. Till 2007 there were no special or separate legislation exclusively for Senior Citizens. the Government of India, through its Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, through then Minister, Smt. Mira Kumar introduced the Bill on 9th March, 2007, titled as “The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Bill 2007” in Lok Sabha. The statement of objects and reason stated makes it clear that, the Act provides for medical facilities to the senior citizens and provisions for protection of their life and property. The basic object of the Bill of 2007 was to provide effective remedies for the maintenance and welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens. The above referred bill is now became the Act, which received an ascent of the President of India on 31 December, 2007. As per UNESCO estimates, the number of aged (60+) is likely to 590, million in 2005. The figure will be double by 2025. In India, the population of elder persons has increased from nearly 2 crores in 1951 to 7.2 crores in 2001. In the other words about 8% of total population is above 60 years. The figure is to cross 18% by 2025. In pursuance of the understanding at international level, Government of India initiated and declared national policy on older persons in 1999. This policy recognized certain rights of the aged people and further declared Government’s responsibility towards providing economic and social security along with healthcare facilities and protection of life and property of the aged people. In spite of the fact that the said policy was declared in 1999, even after decade no steps were taken to implement said policy. There was strong and consistent pressure from different NGOS and demand by aged people, senior citizens organizations etc. on thegovernment regarding implementation of the same by appropriate Legislation. Therefore, Ministry Of Law And Justice drafted a legislature titled ‘The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act’ (hereinafter referred to as the Act), and it was published on December 31, 2007, after receiving the assent of President on December 29, 2007. As mentioned in Section 1 of the Act, it shall come into force in a State on such date as the State Government may appoint. The Act mentions that the person would be considered as a ‘senior citizen’ if he is a citizen of India and has attained the age of 60 years or above. The researcher would like to end this research on concluding note, that, it is not only the government’s responsibility to protect the interests of the elderly people, but as a responsible citizen of the society everyone should make effort to secure the dignified status of the old age people in the family and in the society as well. In today’s fast life, most people complain that they have no enough time or money at some particular time to provide proper care and health facilities to their parents and grand-parents. In that case, it might be quite possible to form a welfare society or cooperative society by some families with some joint fund which would provide proper care to old members of these families. NGO’s and some other private institutions are also playing very important role in the society for elderly people. Government should support these NGO’s to improve the condition of the older people in the society. But, without the awareness and support of the people in the society all these laws and provisions would be useless because it is not only a legal problem but a social problem as well. One should never forget that every child has to grow and has one day to fall in the category of old aged person/parents. What we give to our parents shall automatically come back up on us. In our LL.B. Syllabus, many laws are studied. But how are many laws applicable in our society?We always support the latest various judgments of Supreme Court on oldage people, till now a large number of old person are suffered. Unfortunately, our West Bengal Bidhan Sabha has not passed “Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Rules, 2008” till today.
