Elders’ Council (India)

The Elders’ Council in India is a traditional advisory group comprising respected senior citizens and community elders who guide local decision-making, social matters, and cultural preservation. While not a formal governmental institution, their role is rooted in cultural respect for age, wisdom, and experience. They often act as mediators, advisors, and custodian figures within communities, helping to maintain social harmony and uphold customs. Their influence varies across regions, serving as a vital link between traditional values and contemporary community needs.
