Paid Old Age Home in Bhopal to be Inaugurated Soon

A newly constructed paid old age home in Bhopal’s Patrakar Colony, built at a cost of ₹23.96 crore, will soon be inaugurated by CM Yadav.

Senior citizens will be able to reside here by paying a modest fee. The collected rent will support operational expenses via the Department’s account.

The model is inspired by successful examples from cities like Agra and Jaipur.

Caring for the elderly is a sacred duty. We must also encourage NGOs and religious groups to participate,” said Dr. Yadav.

Major Progress in Disability Services:

UDID Cards and Pensions

9.57 lakh UDID (Unique Disability ID) cards have been issued, enabling direct access to government schemes.

₹339+ crore transferred monthly to 56 lakh pension beneficiaries via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

Divyang Employment Drive

Over 2,500 PwDs have been employed in government services through a special recruitment campaign.

Under the Divyang Marriage Promotion Scheme, 11,294 couples have been supported in the last 10 years.

Rehabilitation and Health Infrastructure

Divyang Rehabilitation Centers are functional in all districts, offering services such as physiotherapy and therapeutic support for both PwDs and senior citizens.

Infrastructure and Digital Transformation

A mobile app has been launched for real-time inspection and monitoring of NGOs and government-run centers; 135 inspections completed so far.

Work has been digitized through e-office systems in 42 districts.

Officials are being trained under Mission Karmayogi via the iGOT platform.

Collaborations and Future Initiatives

MoUs signed with NGOs and institutions for elderly care and de-addiction services.

New sports promotion schemes for disabled athletes are in the pipeline.

Plans to replicate best practices from other states for leprosy and disability welfare are underway.
