Financial Assistance Schemes for Older Persons in Meghalaya

At Elderly Care India, it is our constant endeavour to compile resources and information that can help older people (senior citizens) become aware of their social welfare rights and access the various schemes, programmes and other benefits offered by the Central and State Governments.

The schemes below have been collated from various sources, including myScheme by the Government of India, so that older people who are poor, underprivileged, destitute, widowed or disabled can access financial support schemes that may help strengthen their financial position.

Since this information has been compiled independently, senior citizens are advised to carry out their own due diligence.
