CHENNAI: Awards were distributed to 15 volunteers of Dignity Foundation's Chennai Chapter for their "excellence" in helpline management, office management, companionship programmes and basic computerisation.

The former Director-General of Police, A.X. Alexander, distributed the awards to K. Rajashankar, V. Muthukrishna, V. Nora, Lakshmi Natrajan, Bessy Cherian, Lakshmi Anand, V. Ramamurthy, James Chandran, Janaki Krishnan, Leila Nelto, A.R.Serao, Sathi Thomas, V.

Mr. Alexander said the break-up of the joint family system and migration of youth to foreign countries were forcing elders to fend for themselves.
