National Initiative On Care For Elderly

National Initiative On Care For Elderly


In order to cope up with the problems faced by the Aged, it is necessary that the care givers be made aware of the physical and mental conditions and problems of the elderly people so as to meet their needs as far as possible in the home setting.

Under this initiative, the NISD runs a series of Programmes/Certificate Courses to educate and train persons who can provide care to older persons in the family and community settings. The Institute is also carrying out orientation programmes in several regions of the country to generate awareness among senior citizens on the welfare facilities/programmes available for them and also sensitize government and non-government functionaries on special needs of the elderly.
