The Trust having been involved in nurturing the buds by educating children from 2½ years to 17 years and also having been employing people in the age group of 18 to 60 felt it more apt to have a direct association with the SENIORS in the age group of 61 – 100.

In our traditional household, till recently, the elders had enjoyed a respectable status in the family as the head and such elders' advice was always looked with awe and was carried out without questions.
