Abstract Content (not more than 300 word, should include: Introduction, Objective, Methodology, critical findings & Conclusion): 
This paper reframes policies, schemes and programmers for ageing as a social and economic protection phenomenon in rural India, arguing that care, accessibility of benefits, hurdles, vulnerability and social protection must be understood together rather than in isolation. It is expected by UNDESA (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs) in 2008, that the Indian population of elderly 60 and above will grow up to 11.1 % in 2025. In today’s context changing patterns of social systems such as shifting from Joint family to Nuclear family leading elderly more vulnerable. Therefore the comprehensive social protection of elderly has become an issue of great concern. The present conceptual review paper produces secondary existing literature related to the theme to examine how social protection mechanisms works for integrated development of elderly with well-being and care through policies and programmes in the Indian scenario and find out the essential implementation loopholes of welfare programmes for care and protection of older persons. Despite policy advances and expanded coverage of old-age pensions over the past two decades, rural older populations continue to face multidimensional insecurity which includes limited coverage, low benefit adequacy, administrative exclusion, gendered disparities, and barriers to access. This conceptual review proposes an integrated conceptual framework that is aligned with policies and programmes design elements to expected outcomes to monitor progress and effective implementation strategies at ground level.The present paper adopts a mixed-methods secondary source of approach. The existing reviews and synthesis of secondary sources of information will be assessed. Source like official government documents notified by Ministry of Rural Development, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment and portal of National Social Assistance Programme.
