While the thought of old age institutes makes us remember some poignant tales of aged people across the country, Jaipur’s Prem Niketan Old Age home has set a heart-melting example for others.

Residents of this old age home are not left to die alone, they are not ones who are neglected by their own children, rather a group of grey-haired love to stay together at Prem Niketan and are enjoying the last days of their lives.

While Prem Niketan has given retired IIS officer Sharat Chandra Bhaskar Joshi reasons to smile even after the death of his wife, 35 other retired government officers like L.N. Gupta have eagerly chosen the institute to live happily till the last day of their lives.
