NEW DELHI; RAMESH BAIS Chairman, 10 March, 2015 Standing Committee on 19 Phalguna, 1936 (Saka) Social Justice and Empowerment 6 CHAPTER - I REPORT 1.1 This Report of the Standing Committee on Social Justice and Empowerment deals with the action taken by the Government on the observations/recommendations contained in the Thirty-ninth Report of the Standing Committee on Social Justice and Empowerment (Fifteenth Lok Sabha) on the subject „Implementation of Schemes for Welfare of Senior Citizens‟. 1.2 The Thirty-ninth Report was presented to Lok Sabha and laid in Rajya Sabha on 07.02.2014. It contained 31 observations/recommendations. Replies of Government in respect of all the observations/recommendations have been examined and are categorized as under: - (i) Observations/Recommendations which have been accepted by the Government : Paragraph Nos. 2, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29 (Total : 16- Chapter II) (ii) Observations/Recommendations which the Committee do not desire to pursue in view of the replies of the Government : Paragraph Nos. 9 and 12 (Total : 2 - Chapter-III) (iii) Observations/Recommendations in respect of which replies of the Government have not been accepted and which require reiteration: Paragraph Nos. 4, 6, 7 and 14 (Total : 4 - Chapter-IV) (iv) Observations/Recommendations in respect of which replies of the Government are of interim in nature: Paragraph Nos. 1, 3, 5, 8, 17, 18, 23, 30 and 31 (Total : 9 - Chapter- V) 7 1.3 The Committee desire that action taken notes on the recommendations contained in Chapter-I and final action taken notes in respect of the recommendations contained in Chapter-V of this Report may be furnished to them at the earliest and in any case not later than three months of the presentation of this Report. 1.4 The Committee will now deal with the replies received from the Government which need reiteration or merit comments. A. Early implementation of schemes for welfare of senior citizens during 12th Plan Recommendation (Sl. No. 4, Para No. 4) 1.5 The Committee were informed that the Ministry have set up an expert committee to formulate a few new schemes under the XIIth Five Year Plan for the welfare of the senior citizens which include the scheme for awareness generation for Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior citizens Act 2007, setting up a helpline for senior citizens at the National and District Levels, setting up a National Commission for senior citizens, and setting up a National Trust for the Aged. The Committee were anguished to note that the above schemes incorporated in the 12th Five Year Plan have not taken off so far, though, almost two precious years of the Plan period had elapsed. The Committee recommended that the Ministry take urgent necessary action so that these schemes are operationalized at the earliest. 1.6 The Ministry in their Action Taken Reply have stated: "Proposal for setting up a helpline for senior citizens at the National and District Levels is under active consideration of the Expert Committee set up by the Ministry. Appropriate action on setting up of other new schemes has also been initiated in consultation with experts in the field of geriatrics. The Standing Committee will be apprised of the action taken accordingly.” 8 1.7 The Committee had desired the Ministry to take action for creating awareness about the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, setting up a helpline for senior citizens at National and District levels, as well as setting up a National Commission for Senior Citizens and National Trust for the Aged which are part of their programme for 12th Plan. The Committee are not at all satisfied with the pace at which the Ministry have initiated action in the matter as they find that so far no concrete results have been achieved in this regard. The Committee, therefore, impress upon the Ministry that immediate steps should be taken to implement these schemes without further delay. 9 B. Harnessing of talent of senior citizens and their rehabilitation Recommendation (Sl. No. 5, Para No. 5) 1.8 The Committee noted that as per the census of India's projected value of expectation of life at birth (2011-15), the life expectancy of males and females is 67.3 years and 69.6 years respectively. The Committee noted that the National Policy for Senior Citizens recognizes productive ageing as the key to the welfare of senior citizens between the age of 60-70 years. The Committee felt that with the increase in the life expectancy and relatively better state of health of people, the Government need to look at continuity of employment upto 65 years/or greater post retirement opportunities for the senior citizens so that the society continue to draw upon their experience and tap their talent. The Committee desired the Ministry to seriously consider the various options which would include reviewing the age of retirement, reemployment opportunities for the retired persons subject to their physical fitness and mental agility and setting up a Directorate of Employment and Rehabilitation for Senior Citizens. 1.9 The Ministry in their Action Taken Reply have stated: "The issues raised by the committee have been noted. The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 enacted by Parliament in December, 2007 defines Senior Citizen as any person being a citizen of India, who has attained the age of sixty years or above.

Over the years, the organization has attempted to bring about meaningful social change in partnership with government, corporates and civil society. From inception, REACHA effort was always to see how government work can reach the ground level and make impact in lives of people and promote environment conservation. In earlier days, much of the work was voluntary, and advocacy was used to achieve desired objectives. With the coming of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) from 1st April 2014 as a mandated expense for qualifying companies, funds were available to achieve the same objectives. Corporate India has been more than willing to partner REACHA to complement and supplement government projects/work. Infact, the very intent and objective of the CSR legislation is to see how corporate India can partner nation building efforts along with government and civil society – by sharing its expertise in technology, project management, innovation etc.

  • From the Desk of Vice Chancellor
    NDUAT Newsletter Vol.03, No.02 July-September, 2017 From the desk of Vice Chancellor This Newsletter highlights the activities, progress and achievements of the university during the third quarter of 2017. In this quarter we welcomed the new students of B.Sc. (Ag.), B.V.Sc. & A.H., B.Sc. (Hort.), B.F.Sc., B.Tech. (Ag. Engg., Mech. Engg. and Comp. Sc. & Engg.) and B.Sc. (Home Sc.). Apart from these undergraduate programmes, students are also admitted in various PG and Ph.D. programmes. This quarter had been quite exciting for us because we have organized several campaigns i.e. Swachta Pakhwada, Sankalp Se Siddhi- New India Manthan Programme, Swachata Hi Sewa, Parthenium Awareness Week and Nutrition Week along with celebration of important days i.e. Teacher’s day, Gandhi Jayanti, Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Jayanti and World Honey Bee day. Since our focus is on transferring the latest scientific findings to the farmers through training and field demonstrations to reduce the cost of cultivation in agriculture and doubling the farmers income by 2022. To achieve the target, all the new technologies developed by university and KVKs are compiled in the form of technology book “Krishak Aay Samvardhan Mein Krishi Vigyan Kendra” which will provide a land mark to the farmers. This quarter eight (8) new KVKs are sanctioned to this university by the Government of India. As a result new technologies could be disseminated to the farmers of remote areas too. A high yielding Linseed variety Narendra Alsi-5 (NDL 2011-33) has been identified for release by the Central Variety Identification Committee for cultivation under moist stress (UTERA) condition which may increase the oilseed production in eastern U.P.
