Senior citizens in Delhi will soon have more places in their own neighbourhoods to meet friends, play games and take part in activities, with the Delhi government planning annual financial support for dedicated recreational centres.
Under the Vayo Anand Yojana, the government will provide Rs 2.4 lakh a year to eligible centres that cater exclusively to people aged 60 and above. The centres can operate from community spaces, including those inside RWAs, housing societies and village chaupals.
