Message from the Chair

Mr. Bharat Mohan Adhikari

I am pleased that finally we took this first step of bringing out a Year Book of Senior Citizens. However small step this may be, but I am happy that initiation has been taken to fill the ever existing data gap on senior citizens of Nepal, which has been the major bottle neck for starting the evidence based planning process.

Numbers presented in this book are important not for their accuracy of counting of events or incidents, but as indicators of the trend and major issues of senior citizens in Nepal as represented by the media and police reports.

We look forward to receiving comments and suggestions by users of this book so that we could serve better with disintegrated time series data on senior citizens of Nepal. We look forward to your kind cooperation and support to improve on this first step we took.

Sincerely Bharat Mohan Adhikari Chair, Manmohan Memorial Foundation Sanepa, Lalitpur, Nepal.


About this Year Book

Many countries have come up with new policies and programmes in their efforts to comply with Madrid International Plan of Action (MIPAA) since 2002. However, most of the outcomes of their sincere efforts have been arbitrary in nature as they were prepared in absence of a strong national data base. This is also true for Nepal. This "Year Book" is the first step jointly taken by Manmohan Memorial Foundation and Ageing Nepal to fill this ever existing data gap at the national level. This book gives brief introduction of Manmohan Memorial Foundation and Ageing Nepal – the two leading NGOs on ageing issues who ventured this pioneering effort. The following pages present summary of information collected throughout the year 2012 from the following sources:

News published by the major dailies in English and Nepali language, namely, Gorkhaptra, Kantipur, The Kathmandu Post, Annapurna Post, Samacharpatra, The Republica and The Himalayan Times.

Police reports Information collected by our correspondents.

Information is categorized for easy reference. Many of the information could have been put in more than one categories or new category could have been added. Therefore, these data of each category should be used with some degree of caution and in consideration of the data in similar but different category. Data in each category should be used to understand the magnitude of events occurred rather than as the absolute number of correct counting. Being the first effort made by two NGOs towards creating a national data base on different concerns of ageing population, this book has its own limitations. We look forward to the support and cooperation of the concerned organisations and individuals to improve on it in coming years. We take this opportunity to thank Mr. Ashish Thapa Magar, Programme Officer at Ageing Nepal, for his hard work in collecting and processing the data presented. Krishna M.
