Abstract: The worldwide elderly population is on the rise, necessitating a shift in focus towards addressing the requirements of older individuals. The chains of relationship between generations are known as Intergenerational Relations.

They are more prone to loneliness, isolation and depression. The time spent together among the family members have been reduced in the present situation. Various studies have shown that the intergenerational solidarity can contribute to their positive mental health. Hence the current study aims to find the relationship between health status of an elderly, happiness and intergenerational relationship among the elderly. The study is a descriptive one. Simple Random Sampling is used. Self-structured interview schedule has been used to collect data. Based on the findings suggestions provided.
