Founder President’s Message 2...4 The year under reference starts with the financial year commencement in April 2011 and ending with not just March 2012, but I also give coverage to activities we undertook in the remaining 6 months till Mumbai Activities and Services 5...14 last month – September 2012. Since World Elders Day falls on October 1, a day we have chosen to be our annual day of thanksgiving to the staff and volunteers who have tirelessly toiled the past 18 months. Pune Chapter 15...18 Our annual report narrative covers a span of 18 months. This year also sees the separation of reports of our two Trusts – Dignity Foundation and Dignity Lifestyle Trust – the latter becoming a stand alone Report presented on the Foundation Day of our Township at Neral on April 4 of each year.
