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.",
