=================================================

when you know that there are good people to turn to, bad times suddenly W don’t seem so bad. A loving and supportive family is great, but sometimes they are not around when you need them. There are however, always people at the other end of a telephone line. All you might need is to make a call.

HelpAge India is one of the largest foundations for elderly care in the country, with regional offices in the four major metros and branch offices in 50 other cities in India.

Their helpline is a Toll Free Number (1800-180-1253), and provides information on everything from counseling to police protection to legal aid and looking for an old age home.

Programme head in Delhi Avenash Datta says that though they cannot go and help everywhere, efforts are on to prepare a network of senior citizens’ association all over the country. “This way we will have a robust, sustainable model of voluntary agencies that are run, managed and maintained by senior citizens themselves.”

Besides HelpAge, there are several other offices across the country that do excellent work for the elderly. A few are listed below, and you can call them for information and help on any of these Police, old age home, agencies running ambulance facilities, blood bank, hospitals running sunday geriatric clinics, agencies providing attendants/ caregiver, free mobile medical units for slum areas, 24 hour chemists, legal helpline, narcotics unanimous – substance abuse, cancer support, AIDS awareness, abuse

========================================

Every fridge, car and holiday package is bought in anticipation of joy and comfort. If it is bad E enough to learn that the service is defective, it is even worse to realize that the seller is prepared to do nothing. 

Senior citizens are especially vulnerable to being taken for a ride. Several voluntary organisations in urban areas work on consumer rights and provide assistance in filing complaints in consumer courts according to the procedure laid down by the Consumer Protection Act.

The Act envisages a three-tier system to hear and decide consumer complaints, based primarily on the value of the compensation or goods being claimed.

If the compensation claimed or the value of the goods claimed in the complaint is a maximum of Rs 20 lakh, you can go to the district forums that are established by the state governments.

The second tier of the redressal mechanism is known as the state commission. The commission is also established by the state government and can entertain ? complaints where the value of the goods or services and compensation claimed exceeds Rs 20 lakh but does not exceed Rs 1 crore and ? appeals against the orders of any District Forum within the State; and ? take up a case pending before the district forum, if it feels that the forum has not exercised its powers in keeping with the law.

Finally, you can approach the third tier, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, in these cases: ? complaints where the value of the goods or services and compensation, if any, claimed exceeds Rs 1 crore; and ? appeals against the orders of any State Commission; and ? taking up a case pending before the district forum, if it feels that the state commission has not exercised its powers in keeping with the law.
