PECUC with the support of International agencies came forward to break the cell
of this image in the year 1998 with a motto to make the community realise the potential of
the aged and thereby enhancing the dignity of the older persons in the family and
the community as well. PECUC started
different programmes for the welfare of the aged.

Adopt a Gran
This unique programme, which links needy older people with individual and
corporate sponsors. It helps them in the form of food, clothing, medical care, bedding,
articles of personal use and pocket money. PECUC started this programme in the year 1998 with 50 needy older persons in the
Pahala panchayat of Balianta block of Khurda district with support from Help Age
International, HelpAge India and Help the Aged UK. Apart from taking care of the basic
needs of these older persons, efforts were made to rehabilitate in the community both

helping the most distressed and disabled older persons under this programme. ASHA
