“…Attitudes of youth towards elders are heterogeneous and may be positivelyor negatively affected by familial and nonfamilial intergenerational contact. [19,20] Y Fujiwara et al [21] , in their study launched a new intervention study called REPRINTS in which senior volunteers were engaged in an activity of reading picture books to children.At the follow-up, social network scores (frequency of contact with grandchildren and others around the neighbourhood) and self-rated health was improved for majority of the individuals who did this activity most intensively as compared to those who did not. They concluded that this specific intergenerational activity helped in improving the mental and physical health of the older adults.…”

Background: Life expectancy among the elderly has been improving for many decades all over world, the emotional and mental wellbeing of the geriatric people is at stake because of the younger people migrating to the urban areas or even abroad for work, and older people staying alone at their homes.Few days can be spent by older-younger people together to plant trees. And this intergenerational bonding activity can give a sense of satisfaction and mental wellbeing to the older adults. Objectives:1. To find out how older people spend time with younger generations 2. To evaluate if older people are interested in gardening and planting trees as an intergenerational activity. Method:We conducted a survey on 120 older people in the community attached to our college, we enquired about the different means by which the older people spend time with the younger generations and if they will be interested in gardening or planting trees together with the younger generations.Results: There were a total of 120 participants, 60 males and 60 females. Mean age was 68.49 ± 6.83 years. Majority of them interacted with the younger generations daily (55.83%). Chit chatting, managing business and telling stories to children were the common things done together. Majority (70%) felt that they spent enough time with the younger people, while few were not spending time at all with their younger generations (5.83%). 79 participants never planted a single tree (65.83%). 107 participants felt that planting trees is necessary (89.17%) while 104 participants (86.67%) would like to do gardening or planting trees with their younger generations.

“…IGP as a whole varies widely depending on the populations involved, program objectives, and available resources. Interventions targeting children at risk for drug use (Taylor, LoSciuto, Fox, Hilbert, & Sonkowsky, 1999), older adults needing employment (Larkin & Newman, 2001), and foster care families needing community support (Eheart & Hopping, 2001) have utilized intergenerational strategies to achieve program goals. Programs have employed IGP to promote positive affect and engagement of older adults (Xaverius & Matthews, 2003), improved attitudes about aging among children (Middlecamp & Gross, 2002), and greater sense of community among staff (Jarrott, Morris, Kemp, & Stremmel, 2004).…”
