The Challenge of Senior Loneliness

As the conversation progressed, Amit and Rahul highlighted a significant issue faced by many seniors—loneliness, particularly during festive occasions like Diwali. With nuclear families becoming more common and children often living in different cities or countries, many elderly parents find themselves feeling isolated. The emotional impact of such isolation can be profound, leading to feelings of sadness and even depression.

To address this pressing issue, the hosts welcomed a special guest, Sunita Dub, the founder of Happy 60 Plus, an initiative dedicated to keeping senior citizens engaged, connected, and happy.

Happy 60 Plus: A Vision for Senior Well-Being

Sunita Dub shared her journey behind creating Happy 60 Plus and how a personal experience inspired her to take action. Growing up in a traditional joint family, Sunita always enjoyed the warmth and support of a large family. However, she later witnessed a stark contrast—elderly individuals in urban settings living alone and struggling with loneliness.

The real turning point came in 2017 when her mother experienced immense emotional distress following the passing of Sunita’s younger brother. Despite having a loving and supportive family, her mother felt lost and isolated. This made Sunita realize that if a family as close-knit as hers could face such challenges, many seniors without strong family support must be struggling even more.

Building a Supportive Community for Seniors

Motivated by her personal experience, Sunita launched Happy 60 Plus in 2019 with the mission to enhance the quality of life for seniors. The initiative focuses on creating engagement opportunities through activities such as morning walks, movie outings, and social gatherings. The idea was to provide a space where seniors could interact, share experiences, and feel valued.

However, just as Happy 60 Plus was gaining momentum, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, bringing unprecedented challenges. Given that senior citizens were among the most vulnerable groups, physical meetups became impossible. But instead of letting this setback halt their mission, Sunita and her team pivoted to digital solutions.

Adapting to the Pandemic: Going Digital

With lockdowns in place, Happy 60 Plus quickly adapted by introducing tech-based solutions. Recognizing that many seniors were unfamiliar with digital tools, the team launched tech-enablement sessions to help them navigate WhatsApp, Zoom, and online shopping platforms. Contrary to the widespread belief that seniors struggle with technology, Sunita found that nearly 80% of them were already using WhatsApp. With a little patience and guidance, they could comfortably transition to the digital world.

In addition to virtual meetups, Happy 60 Plus also initiated home delivery services for medicines and essentials during the lockdown. This service proved to be a lifeline for many elderly individuals who were unable to step out.

The Future of Senior Engagement

Sunita’s initiative has demonstrated that with the right support system, senior citizens can lead fulfilling and engaged lives. By fostering a sense of community and encouraging social interactions, Happy 60 Plus aims to combat loneliness and promote overall well-being among the elderly.

The episode concluded with a heartfelt discussion on how families can take small but meaningful steps to stay connected with their elders. Whether through regular phone calls, video chats, or simply making time for visits, maintaining these connections can make a world of difference.

Diwali is a time for joy, but it is also a time for reflection. As we celebrate with our loved ones, it is important to remember those who may be feeling alone. Initiatives like Happy 60 Plus remind us of the power of community and the impact of small gestures in making someone’s life brighter.

For those looking to get involved, Happy 60 Plus continues to welcome volunteers and support to expand their reach and bring more seniors into their vibrant community.
