With the rapidly growing urbanization, migration for work and the growth of nuclear families, the support system for senior citizens has seriously reduced in every part of Indian society. But in a remote place like Hailakandi this challenge has become more acute due to absence of alternative support systems for the elderly. In view of this condition, SBGUS has taken up various initiatives to sensitize and aware people on the gravity of the issue as well as to render support services to the needy senior citizens of nearby locations. It has carried out both community based and institutional programmes to build the support system for these people. The aim of the programmes has been primarily to improve the quality of senior citizen's life with basic services needed to live a dignified life and services for productive ageing.
In its initiatives for senior citizens, SBGUS focused on providing basic amenities like Shelter, Counselling, Food, Medical care and Entertainment and on encouraging a productive and active ageing.
At present, the organization runs various programmes including residential & nonresidential services, nutritional and medical supplements, entertainment and facilities for sustaining productivity of the beneficiaries.
