The National Social Security Board has devised the guidelines and operational system jointly with the state governments.
An official from the National Social Security Board shared regarding this:
“Most states have given their support for this initiative. We await the response from some states. This scheme has been finalised. We have scheduled to commence the system before the end of January.”
The official further informed that this scheme, once in operation, will facilitate an avenue for help for the senior citizens and also, facilitate solving various related issues through detailed discussions and suggestions.
