Kerala launches scheme to assess elderly care services amid rapid ageing

Kerala has launched a scheme to assess and evaluate services available for its elderly population. The initiative comes as the state grapples with rapid demographic ageing, a challenge that has prompted the need for comprehensive evaluation of existing support systems.

The scheme aims to review the quality and accessibility of services provided to senior citizens across the state. This move reflects Kerala's growing concern about ensuring adequate care and support infrastructure for its ageing demographic.
