"The ageing of the population which first took place in the developed countries has now become a worldwide phenomenon. India is also no exception to this phenomenon. The ageing of the Indian population, which started since 1960, has accelerated after 1971.

The book, is a collection of seminar papers, presents a broad overview of the magnitude of the problems of elderly persons in Mizo society. The book focuses on various dimensions related with the ageing of the population of the state -- the demographic profile of the elderly population in Mizoram, the changing roles and status of elderly persons in Mizo society, the role and activities of senior citizens organisation, health conditions and health-care interventions available with the elderly, social security systems provided by the state and the scope of gerontological social work intervention across institutional and non-institutional settings.

The book stresses that, since the process of ageing is a biologically inevitable phenomenon, society needs to have a fresh look as to how the elderly persons should be looked after." (jacket)

  • A thousand thanks for promptly sending the Pali English Dictionary which I had needed urgently. The securely packed parcel arrived safely here in the South of France all the way from distant India. I am happy that this large volume is still in mint condition. 

    I know of no other Indian publisher whose books can equal the superb quality of Vedams books. Similarly, no other Indian distributor of books can excel Vedams as regards the quickness of service, the perfect packing of books and their safe delivery at overseas destinations.
