'Homes for the aged is a necessity in India '. Write a debate in 150- 200 words either for or against the motion. You are Shivam/Shivani.

Good Morning everyone. I’d like to thank Principal ma’am and our dear teachers for giving me this opportunity to express my views on the topic ‘Yoga-a way of life’. ‘Yoga’ comes from the Sanskrit word ‘yoga’ which itself means ‘doing something with concentration’. So basically, doing anything with concentration and complete dedication takes the form of yoga.

When yoga is equivalent to concentration, then it becomes clear as to how much it is necessary for us in our everyday lifestyle. Concentration is very much the seed of success. And if one doesn’t practice concentration then success will be a far-fetched fruit.


Yoga is hence a few exercises that help train our body and mind in a systematic way. It constantly teaches our body how to properly breathe in and breath out in a particular way so as to keep the heart and lungs healthy. A healthy body will definitely lead to a healthy and focused mind. And a focused mind will definitely make success a cakewalk. So let’s make yoga a continuous way of life.

‘Homes for the ages is a necessity in India’ – I stand for the notion. Rather these homes are not only necessary in India, they are a necessity all over the world. I say so because the aged members of our family are not only lonely but also deprived of attention. This happens mainly because the other members of the family are busy handling their jobs at the office.


With the growing global scenario, it has become very necessary for every family to invest energy and effort in jobs. The growing global economy is an alarm saying so. Being engaged in nine to five jobs all day long, leaves the elderly members alone back at home. Also, there is rarely any time or energy left to spend time separately with them after office hours.


All these problems have a permanent solution. The old Age homes. I don’t support the children who leave their parents behind for years at a stretch in the old age homes. I rather support the children who do not want to leave their parents alone at home during the day. Old age homes should rather be like school for children. In this way, our aged family members will be able to spend quality time with the people of their age and share their problems. A better society will be created.
