Dignity Dialogue - One of India’s foremost national magazines exclusively for the 50+ age group, ‘Dignity Dialogue’ was the frontrunner of Dignity Foundation, making its first appearance in 1995. Despite turbulences throughout these 16 years, it has been steadfast in its dispatch to subscribers on the 29th of every month. It has seen many avatars on the way, from a tabloid format to the current getup, from colour to black and white, and now back to a colourful modern model from 2010. What has been consistent over these years is the quality of its ‘contents’, which has been receiving rave reviews from its readers, who have become ‘passionate collectors’, carefully storing away copies of every issue over the years for an encore reading! It comes with an eclectic mix of health, wellness, spiritual awareness, environment, modern technology, personal finance, travel options, personalities to be emulated, senior cuisine, books for you, brain games like crossword and Sudoku, and contributions from readers on poetry, humour and nostalgic reflections as well as snippets of information from around the globe. In our endeavours to re-invent the magazine every year and make it more attractive for our readers, we have been adding professional columns on various lifestyle issues, consumer problems, photo features, and highlighting current issues, technology and the like, to keep you updated with the times, with an awareness on the environment around you. A special section focussing on the younger generation helps in strengthening intergenerational bonding. It has also found a place in the ‘retirement benefits’ of corporates such as RBI, ITC, BPCL, MICA and many more.
