Though the concept of VRUDDHASHRAM (OLD AGE HOME) does not fit in our Indian culture, it has become the need of the hour due to various reasons. Basically there are three types of old age homes.
- Old age homes run free of charge for those who cannot afford to pay any charges for homeless people.
- Old age homes at moderate rates for middle or higher middle class people who have spent their life in a better atmosphere and comfortable style and need the same in their old age too. They can afford to contribute moderately either from their own resources or pension or their children are ready to pay but they want modern amenities, clean atmosphere, good environment and above all peace of mind and away from all hassles.
- Old age homes for very high society people who want ultra modern amenities like AC Rooms, Social Club like atmosphere etc.
GHARKUL falls in the second category.
