"Serving, respecting, and protecting the elderly is integral part of our culture and tradition. The 'Sneh Dham' project not only provides social security but also ensures safe housing facilities for the elderly. This is a significant and sensitive step that reflects respect and responsibility towards senior citizens," Yadav said.
The 'Sneh Dham' project offers necessary amenities such as food, medical care, entertainment, self-study, meditation, counselling along with robust security for the elderly within a single complex.
"The social structure had changed over time—many elderly couples are alone today, with some having children abroad or living in distant cities due to jobs. In such situations, initiatives like Sneh Dham will fulfil the need for safe, dignified, and well-equipped housing for senior citizens," the CM said.
The IDA has let out the building to a private player on contract, and the bookings for the accommodation will begin soon.
At the inauguration event, Yadav also announced development projects worth over Rs565 crore for Indore. He inaugurated development works costing approximately Rs90 crore and laid the foundation for projects worth over Rs476 crore.
