SERVICES.

31 August 2019. A Trust account opened at State Bank of India, Trimulgherry Secunderabad.

02 August 2019. The website was registered at Secunderabad as ‘HELP AND SERVE PUBLIC CHARITABLE TRUST’. Accordingly, a PAN card was also obtained on 24 Aug 2019….

TIME BANK: A panel of experts, who are part of NHRC’s core group on disability and elderly persons, has recommended that India should adopt the “time bank” scheme, launched by Switzerland to take care of senior citizens who are living alone without any support from their family. St Gallen may become the first Swiss city to introduce a novel banking scheme in which retired care volunteers “deposit” hours worked looking after elderly people. In return they can use any time saved up for their own care provision later in life. We can plan this in out website too later.
