Delhi Plans Elderly Centres Offering Yoga, Health Camps, Recreation

The Delhi government wants to create welcoming centres for older people.

The centres would give them safe places to meet friends and spend time near home.

They could play games such as carrom and ludo.

They could also join yoga, meditation, fitness and creative activities.

Monthly medical camps and first-aid supplies would be available.

Books, newspapers, computers and televisions would help people enjoy their free time.

Special events and celebrations would also be held.

The plan is meant to help elderly people stay healthy, active and less lonely.

Some eligible centres may receive government funding to run these activities.
