To improve awareness about and access to the availability of senior care services and products, Antara Senior Care -Indias only fully integrated senior care ecosystem - has joined hands with Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance (SUD Life), one of Indias fastest growing and prominent life insurance providers in India. The tie-up takes an integrated approach towards senior wellness and financial literacy with the initiative set to culminate in the launch of specialised financial products for seniors. According to The Longitudinal Ageing Study of India (LASI) 2021 report by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, only 28% seniors are aware of any concessions, schemes or benefits available for them, a mere 18% are covered by health insurance, and 78% live without pension cover. The fact that ~70% seniors are completely dependent on family and relatives for everyday needs despite various government schemes and emerging private sector solutions underlines the need for initiatives to further awareness about age-care services. The Antara-SUD Life partnership is a decisive step in that direction. Ishaan Khanna, CEO, Antara Assisted Care Services, said, We are pleased to collaborate with Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance to promote well-informed, proactive ageing, enabling seniors to lead healthier, more independent lives. Backed by the Max Groups legacy in healthcare and the experience of developing one of Indias most comprehensive senior care ecosystems, Antara is uniquely positioned to help SUD Life Insurance customers and their families understand various facets of holistic wellness to secure their future. Mr. Abhay Tewari, MD & CEO, Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance, said, We are delighted to partner with Antara to deliver a structured and holistic approach to senior citizen well-being, integrating financial security with overall wellness. At its core, this initiative is about helping people understand their choices and plan with more confidence. As longevity increases, such integrated solutions will play a critical role in helping individuals plan with confidence for the years ahead. As Indias foremost fully integrated senior care ecosystem with services spanning from award-winning residences to NABH-accredited Care Homes to D2C wellness website AGEasy, Antara will useits expertise, derived from serving over five lakh seniors, to craft digital-first, information-rich communication for SUD Lifes customers and employees. Antara experts will also lead webinars and on-ground engagements to further awareness about the different types of care needed through differing phases of ageing and the financial solutions and tools needed to equip seniors and their families. Insurance specialists from Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance curated and launched exclusive financial products that can be used by Antara customers. India is at the cusp of a significant demographic shift. According to the JLL-ASLI 2024 report, the countrys senior population is poised to more than double from 156.7 million in 2024 to 347 million by 2050. UNFPA data projects that the population of people aged 80+ in India will grow by approximately 279% between 2022 and 2050, bringing with it complex challenges be they financial or care related. Addressing these requires integrated, scalable solutions that go beyond healthcare alone a gap addressed by this tie-up between Antara Senior Care and SUD Life.

PIL in SC seeking action against racial violence targeting northeastern citizens
NEW DELHI: A PIL was filed in the Supreme Court seeking judicial intervention to address the continuing constitutional failure to prevent and respond to racial discrimination and violence against citizens from northeastern states and other frontier regions. The PIL was filed on December 28 in the backdrop of the brutal killing of Anjel Chakma , a 24-year-old MBA student from Tripura, who succumbed on December 27 to grievous injuries sustained in a racially motivated attack in Selaqui area of Dehradun. Anjel from Unakoti district's Machmara went to Dehradun after completing his graduation in Holy Cross School, Agartala, to pursue MBA, where he was stabbed to death in the presence of his younger brother Michael. The family members of Chakma want capital punishment or at least life imprisonment for all the accused involved in the incident. Anoop Prakash Awasthi, a Delhi-based lawyer, has made the Centre and all the states and Union territories as parties to the PIL. That the present writ petition is being filed seeking issuance of writ under Article 32 of the Constitution seeking issuance of writ in the nature of mandamus, order, direction or any other appropriate writ for the violation of fundamental rights as under article 14, 19 (1) a & (g) and 21, and thus seeking judicial intervention to address the issue of racial discrimination and violence against Indian citizens from the north-eastern states and other frontier regions of India, the plea said. We are Indians. What certificate should we show to prove that? words that tragically became the last recorded assertion of Anjel Chakma about his constitutional belonging before the confrontation escalated into brutal violence, it said while recounting the offence leading to his death. The plea referred to media reports about Chakma's death. The attackers allegedly assaulted and stabbed both brothers and Chakma sustained severe injuries to his neck and spine, remained unconscious throughout his treatment, and died after more than fourteen days in intensive medical care, it said, adding his death triggered widespread anguish, protests, and demands for justice across the country. Issue an appropriate writ (ad interim till a legislation is made) in the nature of formulating comprehensive guidelines, recognising 'racial slur' as a separate category of hate crimes and determining punishment for the same, the plea said. 'Horrific hate crime': Rahul Gandhi on Tripura student murder; slams BJP for 'normalising' hate It sought a direction to the Centre and the states to create a odal agency or a permanent body or commission or directorate at the central level as well as at the level of each state where such racial crimes can be reported and redressed. Direct the respondents at central level as well as at the level of each state to make and create a dedicated special police unit in each district/metropolitan area to address the racial crimes, it said. The plea sought a direction to the Centre and the states to organise workshops and debates at educational institutes on the issue of prevailing racial discrimination and ways to redress the same. The petition said that despite the unmistakable hate-based and racial motivation behind the crime, India's criminal justice system lacks any mechanism to recognise or record racial bias at the initial stage of investigation. As a result, such offences are treated as ordinary crimes, erasing motive, diluting constitutional gravity, and perpetuating a pattern of impunity, it said. The plea said that the killing of Chakma is not an isolated incident but part of a long-standing pattern of racial abuse and violence against citizens from the northeastern states. The petition recalls earlier cases, including the death of Nido Taniam in 2014 and numerous assaults on students and workers in metropolitan cities, incidents that have been formally acknowledged by the Centre in parliamentary replies but, according to the petitioner, remain unaddressed through any dedicated legislative or institutional framework.

Tripura student's family wants capital punishment for those involved in his murder
AGARTALA: The family of Anjel Chakma (24), who was killed by miscreants in Dehradun, wants capital punishment or at least life imprisonment for all the accused involved in the incident. Anjel from Unakoti district's Machmara went to Dehradun after completing his graduation in Holy Cross School, Agartala, to pursue MBA, where he was stabbed to death in the presence of his younger brother Michael. We will never get back Anjel, but his family wants capital punishment or at least life term imprisonment for those involved in the gruesome murder. Anjel had repeatedly said that he was an Indian, but the miscreants mindlessly stabbed him twice in the back and broke his neck, leading to his death after 17 days of battle for life, said Anjel's maternal uncle, Momen Chakma. He urged the government to take steps so that people from the Northeast don't face racial hate crimes. Momen said, The people of Machmara, irrespective of caste and religion, will hold a candle march in memory of Anjel on Tuesday, seeking justice for his family. Anjel was about to join a company after his final semester examination as he had received a placement offer because of his first year's result with 80 per cent marks, Momen told PTI over phone. He (Anjel) had told his father, Tarun Prasad Chakma, a BSF jawan posted in Manipur, to take voluntary retirement once he gets a job, Momen said. The family's dream of having a decent life has been completely shattered by the unfortunate incident on December 26, Momen, who rushed to Dehradun soon after the incident, said. Anjel's family is completely devastated by the incident. Both father and younger son are undergoing 'Sarema' (a mandatory post-death ritual in Buddhist religion) at a local Buddhist temple for a week. His mother, Gouri Mati Chakma, is also completely shattered, he said. Momen said Ajnel's family is heading towards uncertainty because his father had bought a new home at Nandannagar on the outskirts of Agartala with a huge loan. Besides, Anjel had taken an educational loan to pursue an MBA from Dehradun. We all know pursuing such a course in Dehradun is expensive. Now everything is lost, he said. On Anjel's last wish, Momen said he wanted to travel to Nepal to witness snowfall there, but could not. He had ordered special shoes as part of his preparation to visit Nepal. We received the order, but Anjel could not see the shoes because by then he was in the ICU. I will go to Nepal with these shoes to fulfil his unfinished and last wish, Momen, a state government engineer, said. We are also Indians, says slain Tripura students dad
