In today’s fast-paced world, many seniors endure deep isolation and loneliness. The absence of a meaningful connection in their lives has a drastic impact on their mental health. As a result of the silent suffering, they become prone to developing issues like depression, anxiety, dementia, Parkinson’s disease and even suicide.

Jagriti Dham, one of the leading luxurious old age homes in Kolkata, believes that ageing should not be a struggle. Rather, it is a new phase of life filled with love, comfort and a renewed purpose.

In a heartfelt initiative aimed at preventing the growing prevalence of isolation among the senior population, Jagriti Dham was proud to be the presenting sponsor of Ahang Swaha, a thought-provoking event held at Rotary Sadan on 6th April, 2025. The event was ideated with a focus on suicide prevention among the elderly.

The event brought together many eminent personalists and artists whose presence raised awareness about the seriousness of mental health, particularly among the elderly and the need for society to come together to support them.

The event was graced by some standout performances, like a musical poetry act by Monoshij, a dance drama "Chitrangadar Kahini" by Anurekha Ghosh Dance Company, and a combination of poetry and dance by Sohini Das, which received great appreciation from the audience.

Moreover, a poster for the Suicide Prevention Awareness Programme (SPAP) was also launched. This campaign will soon extend its reach to various schools and colleges to educate the youth about the importance of emotional well-being among all age groups.

In fact, the event was not just an awareness event; it was organised to initiate conversations about compassion, care, and healing that the seniors in our society need during their retirement years.

As a luxurious old age home in Kolkata, Jagriti Dham’s involvement in the soulful event was driven by their mission that the seniors, after retirement, should not only live better but also with a new purpose for a fulfilling experience.

As the dynamics of society are changing with partners passing away, children moving abroad, or the absence of a caregiver, a lot of seniors are left to fend for themselves. Keeping this in mind, Jagriti Dham strives to create a community where every senior feels valued and respected.

By collaborating with events like Ahang Swaha, Jagriti Dham, the luxurious old age home in Kolkata, has once again proved its commitment to making senior living a cherished journey.
