Though in India the size of the elderly population, i.e. persons above the age of 60 years, is constituted at 7.4% of total population at the turn of the new millennium, the same will grow manifold to 323 million by the year 2050 thus making it 20% of India’s population.

‘Senior Citizen SPARSH Foundation’ is formed by a group of achievers from various walks of life like Architecture, Corporate Management, Medicine, Legal & Finance, Entrepreneurship, Media, who share a common dream of making a difference to the lives of the above group through Individual, Collective & Strategic intervention….
