President Ram Chandra Paudel has emphasized the importance of the younger generation benefiting from the knowledge and skills of senior citizens.

Defining senior citizens as a distinct segment of society, he stressed the need to ensure their rights to healthcare, proper nutrition, and a dignified life.
