Youngistaan Foundation feted for work towards welfare of Hyderabad’s senior citizens
The Telangana government honored Hyderabad-based NGO Youngistaan Foundation for its work supporting the welfare and inclusion of senior citizens during the 2026 observance of the International Day of Older Persons in Hyderabad on October 1. The recognition, presented by Scheduled Castes Development Minister Adluri Laxman Kumar, comes as the organization reaches over 850 seniors across the city through various programs.
Youngistaan currently operates in 15 senior citizen homes and more than 30 gated communities, associations, and welfare groups, providing groceries, food, medicines, and counseling. The Foundation is now launching Senior Saathi, an intergenerational program pairing trained young volunteers with seniors for companionship, including conversations, activities, and meals.
