Abstract
Although the legislators and the government
have been quite regularly drafting policy papers for the welfare of the aged
and minors, However, the ground level reality is quite different and the
execution of the policies for the welfare of the aged and minors is left out of
the piece of paper. The hypothesis of this research is that the current
legislative regime of the Indian Legislative System for the care and welfare of
minors and aged people is insufficient to give them a sense of security in the
modern era. The current research will be discussing the problems faced by these
two categories of people. In India, the aged face a range of issues, including
societal, financial, emotional, medical, crime, maltreatment, and other
unrelated issues. The state has utterly neglected to support those members of
our country who are in need. The government has failed to provide actual
protection for minors from physical violence and assault. Illegal trafficking
and sale of minors for unlawful acts are the most heinous crimes committed
against minors. The state and central governments have paid no attention to the
alarming rise in such crimes and incidents.
