Situational Analysis of Elderly Dalit People of the Far Western Region of Nepal
Dalit is a name for people belonging to the lowest stratum in a few South Asian Countries. This study examines the situation analysis of elderly Dalits of Nepal. The total respondents were 381 older people. This study found more than half of respondents were residing with their son/daughter-in-law (53.2%). Elderly living with a spouse only was quite high (37.4%) than in other studies from Nepal. Out of the total respondents, nearly 95 percent have at least one health problem. More than 90 %of respondents feel lonely (92.1%) and depressed (94.7%). Similarly, more than half of the respondents (59.4%) feel that they are not cared for by their family members and nearly two-thirds (65.7%) feel insecure. Local governments and stakeholders should start health promotion programs and awareness activities so that older people can live dignified lives in their later years.

Mind & Society is a journal for ideas, explorations, investigations and discussions on the interaction between the human mind and the societal environments. Scholars from all fields of inquiry who entertain and examine various aspects of these interactions are warmly invited to submit their work. The journal welcomes case studies, theoretical analysis and modeling, data analysis and reports (quantitative and qualitative) that can offer insight into existing frameworks or offer views and reason for the promise of new directions for the study of interaction between the mind and the society. The potential contributors are particularly encouraged to carefully consider the impact of their work on societal functions in private and public sectors, and to dedicate part of their discussion to an explicit clarification of such, existing or potential, implications.Officially cited as: Mind Soc
