Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

The International Day of Older Persons is observed every year on October 1, following the United Nations General Assembly’s 1990 resolution (45/106). The 2025 theme, “Older Persons Driving Local and Global Action: Our Aspirations, Our Well-Being and Our Rights”, highlights the active role of older persons in shaping societies, promoting health equity, financial stability, and community resilience. The observance emphasises not only protecting the rights and dignity of older individuals but also recognizing them as vital contributors to social, cultural, and economic progress. It aligns with the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing, promoting inclusivity for all ages.
