Surprisingly few educated urban residents included in the study opined that the treatment of elderly problems is not necessary. Mostly the subjects (98.8%) were found unaware about the immunization of elderly and were also unaware about the appropriate diet of elderlies. Conclusion: The study strongly suggests need for psycho-education of the community particularly of the care givers. Study was carried out to sought out the suggestions of caregivers about the public awareness programmes. Keywords: Elderly, Mental Health Problems, Awareness. Introduction The population aging is one of the humanities greatest triumphs. The reduction in fertility level, reinforced by steady increased in the life expectancy has produced fundamental changes in the age structure of the ageing population. The older population of India, which was 56.7 million in 1991 is 72 million in 2001 and is expected to grow to 137 million by Studies indicates that socially deprived elderly are more vulnerable to psychiatric illness 1 over 81% of the elderly confessed of facing increasing stress and psychological problems of modern society. While 81% of the people of aged over 65 are reported to have at least one chronic health condition and 69% more than one. Inspite of such grievance of problem mostly the public is not aware of elderly problems to promote the community action professional bodies would need to initiate action for public awareness and education about the problems /needs of the elderlies. Several health risks related to unhealthy life style have been identified through epidemiological research in the last few decades. These include malnutrition, inadequate consumptions of fibers and fruit, physical inactivity, smoking and excess alcohol consumption. To provide the proper care to the elderlies. It is necessary for the care givers that they should have proper knowledge of adequate food, exercise diet and healthy behavioral patterns for older 2-4.

6 DELHI PSYCHIATRY JOURNAL Vol. 12 No.2 OCTOBER 2009 i. Details about mental/physical disease of elderlies should be given in appropriate words & easy language in booklets/pump lets. It should be displayed and provided house to house or be communicated through person to person communication. ii. To increase awareness the elderly problems due to decaying or a environment should be explained properly through knowledgeable / professional person. iii. Diet chart for elderlies should also be distributed through camps/personal meeting & at public gathering from where people can get easily ensuring healthy ageing will then be an objective of nutrition planning and dietary in termination at the individuals as well as societal levels. iv. Basic information should be available on phonic conversation through the professional/educator. v. In India vaccines are available but their wages is very hirited, because of back of awareness and the exorbitant cost. There is an urgent need of indigenous production of these vaccines to make them affordable for a population which needs health security interventions. vi. Camps and public awareness programmes should be organized time to time. vii. Family education regarding the care-giving should give through camps/in public gathering. Viii. Discussions should be on following topics- Topics: i. Physical activity of elderly ii. Regular Physical activity of elderly iii. Importance of Physical activity of elderly iv. Cooperation with care givers. v. Stress reduction for family caregivers: effects of adult day care use. vi. Self maintaining and instrumental activities of daily living of older people. On the basis of the above guide lines we can devise a strategy of educational programmes for older people as well as care givers using mass media and non formal communication channel continuing education programmes will be encouraged and supported. Creating mass awareness is therefore an important strategy for ensuring healthy ageing. It is noticed that in India, information, education and communication strategy using mass media, person to person communication, and group communication as in health education, school education and community education is almost non existent.
