Assam has introduced a unique and groundbreaking social welfare scheme aimed at ensuring the well-being of elderly parents. Under this policy, if an individual fails to take proper care of their aging parents, 10-15% of their salary is deducted and directly transferred to the parents' bank account. This initiative is designed to provide financial support to senior citizens who might otherwise struggle in their old age without adequate care from their children.
The scheme reflects Assam's commitment to addressing the challenges faced by the elderly population, promoting family responsibility, and reducing elder neglect. It is a bold step toward safeguarding the dignity and security of parents in their later years.
