A home away from home for Kashmiri Pandit senior citizens
Hari Kaul, a Canadian based Kashmiri Pandit and founder member of the KMECT said there was a great nead to have such kind of a home for senior Kashmiri Pandit citizens, whose younger generations have left homes to search for a living outside.
FEELING AN emotion and psychological pain with a remote chance to go back, Kashmiri Pandits living across the globe are planning to set-up an old-age home for their senior citizens, who are now living a secluded life after community’s mass migration from the valley in 1990. "The proposed home will also help in maintaining physical, psychological and spiritual aspects of each individual member’’, he said.
Kaul said the institution will also provide a space for community interaction which they feel missing, besides a secured living. He said requisite formalities were being chalked out to register the project as a trust. "We have already started working on the project with an appeal to Kashmiri Pandit global community members to put forth their suggestions so as to rehabilitate the under-privileged, helpless, sick and old aged destitute with honor, respect, love and affection’’, he said. Kaul said this service would absolutely be free of cost . In the beginning, the home for senior citizens will function from a rented building, he said.
This will be the second major initiative supported and funded by the Kashmir Pandit global community. The KMECT is already providing medical facilities to those community members who meet any medical emergency and cannot afford high medical bills.
