An Inter-Generation Bonding Program was successfully organized by the District Welfare Office, Kullu at Devsadan, bringing together senior citizens and members of the younger generation from across Kullu. The event created a vibrant platform for dialogue, shared experiences, and mutual understanding between generations.
Samphia’s Contribution to Senior Citizen Well-being
On this meaningful occasion, Samphia actively participated by setting up its TOW (Therapy on Wheels) unit to conduct a Free Physiotherapy Camp for senior citizens. The initiative aimed to make therapeutic services accessible and provide on-the-spot physiotherapy consultation and support to elderly participants.
