It is a rare thing to hear of someone who has celebrated their 100th birthday. It is rarer still to meet such a person. But with improving health facilities a day would come soon that there would be more than a million such people in the country. As per the estimates of United Nations (UN), there would be five countries wherein the number of centenarian (people who reach 100 years in age), would exceed a million. And that too within this century. China is expected to get there first and reach this milestone by 2069. India would take a little longer and achieve the feat by 2084.
