Dignity Foundation is a not-for-profit
organisation established under the Societies Registration Act of 1860. It is
also a Public Trust registered with the Charity Commissioner of Mumbai. In 1995
the activities of the Foundation were started with the publication of the
magazine Dignity Dialogue. It grew into a service delivery organisation
responding to the expressed needs conveyed by the senior citizens themselves.
Dignity Foundation is premised upon
scientific developments in the fields of Geriatrics and Gerontology. It offers
structural opportunities to exercise the choice of how to live healthy and
active in chronologically advancing years. Headquartered at Mumbai, the
Foundation has Chapters spread across Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Pune and
Goa, as well as centres at in Mumbai.
By perennially
lobbying with corporate bodies and the government it increases the quantum of
facilities and amenities made available to the 50+. The institutional goal is
about reaching out to larger numbers in the country with an increasing amount
of value additions to the basket it offers. The brilliant reality is the basket
can only get more enriching since corporate India is showing a great deal of
interest in senior citizens. Our discounts offer is testimony to this growth.
We wish to distinguish ourselves as social entrepreneurs with capability to
identify and empathise with need nuances of this demographically enlarging
constituency.
