Brief synopsis

Elderly population are on the rise in India and globally facing difficulties with respect to economic and health aspects specifically. Also, the climatic conditions in India are becoming worse due to deforestation, urbanization and industrialization. This proposal proposes that elderly should be given an incentive every month ($8)to plant, protect and nurture a fruit bearing tree and the fruits will be transported by his children with incentives and their grandchildren will get an 5% subsidy in education and an additional subsidy of 5% more if the grandchildren starts planting a tree by themselves. Therefore, there is involvement of the multiple generations leading to "Intergenerational Healthy Ageing". The benefits for the elderly are being more economically sound, active, social, healthy (for eg. coming out in sunlight can give Vitamin D), sense of well-being and contribution to the future generation as role models. The benefits to the children are incentive, feel good for helping their parents, start planting tree and protecting the trees of the their parents. The benefits to the grand children are education, feeling good that they are reducing the burden of education on the parents, the bonding with the family increases, the best time to inculcate environmental good habits and behavior through elderly as role models. The benefits to the flora and fauna especially the missing, extinct birds and few small animals in the urban industrialized areas can be attracted and protected by planting fruit bearing trees. The benefit to the country are using these fruits produced on the under privileged society to reduce hunger, taking care of elderly rise, cambating school dropouts, better climatic conditions etc...  Ultimately, achieving 8 sustainable development goals, which are indeed realistic, feasible, scalable, eco-friendly and intergenerational friendly for the betterment of the global climatic situation with high impact.
