United Nations Policy Formulation Programme for Welfare of Elderly

I am glad that after being many years on my wishlist, finally I got the opportunity to participate in the United Nations "International Programme in Policy Formulation, Planning, Implementation and Monitoring of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing", which was organized by the International Institute on Ageing, Malta between 14th to 25th October, 2013.

It was a great learning experience where participants from twelve countries across Europe, Asia and Africa shared the ageing scenario in their countries along with the challenges and best practices towards welfare of elderly.

Through this programme I got the opportunity to meet and interact with experts in the area of ageing, who trained us in formulating and designing need based policies and programmes for the welfare of elderly, which are based on the priority directives of Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing (2002).

This training programme has raised my confidence to put my ideas into action for designing and implementing need based programme for the welfare of Elderly in India, on which I have already started working.
