Aging Population in India END

Conclusion

It is clear that informal care is far important than formal care in the area of geriatric care chiefly in countries where family care has been the norm, and as no government can provide for the demands of a fast aging population. 
Approach to elderly care should be based on the vision of reinforcing family and community based care in a locally driven process appropriately harnessing locally available resources and knowledge. 
One of the rich resources that the country possesses is the strength of its traditional knowledge systems and the abundant natural resources in the form of medicinal plants and nutritional resources. 
The traditional systems have different and unique approaches to healthcare. 
Methods like rasayana which are means to revitalize ailing and aging bodies have not been adequately studied and thus needs due research consideration. 
As Patwardhan (2012) notes, going by the recent statement of the World Health Organization, integration such a holistic health care approach is definitely likely to yield ‘not just years to life but life to years’.
