The Integrated Programme for Older Persons (External website that opens in a new window) is a scheme that provides financial assistance up to 90 per cent of the project cost to non-governmental organizations or NGOs as on March 31, 2007.
This money is used to establish and maintain old age homes, day care centres, mobile Medicare units and to provide non-institutional services to older persons.
The scheme also works towards other needs of older persons such as reinforcing and strengthening the family, generation of awareness on related issues and facilitating productive ageing.
