Life Circle at the National Conference on Ageing in India: Emerging Realities, Evolving Responses
New Delhi, 1 August 2025 — Life Circle Health Services participated in the National Conference on “Ageing in India: Emerging Realities, Evolving Responses,” organized by Sankala Foundation at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi.
The conference brought together leaders from government, academia, civil society, and the private sector to discuss the implications of India’s demographic shift and identify strategies to ensure healthy, active, and dignified ageing for all citizens.
Reframing Ageing as Opportunity
India’s elderly population is projected to reach 347 million by 2050, comprising nearly 20% of the total population. The conference highlighted this transition as both a policy challenge and a social opportunity — urging stakeholders to reframe ageing as a positive and productive life stage.
Sessions throughout the day examined the multi-dimensional aspects of ageing, including:
- Health and mental well-being,
- Socio-economic security and inclusion,
- Digital literacy and access, and
- Health and mental well-being,
Care economy and skill development.
“Professionalized care, workforce development, and dignified support systems are central to ensuring older adults live fulfilling lives.”
Collaborating for Age-Inclusive Growth
Life Circle’s participation reflected its ongoing advocacy for age-inclusive healthcare systems and professional caregiving models that empower both seniors and care workers.
As India’s population structure evolves, Life Circle continues to engage with national dialogues shaping the future of eldercare — from workforce skilling to digital inclusion and policy integration.
The event also featured the release of Sankala Foundation’s report, “Ageing in India: Challenges and Opportunities”, which outlined actionable pathways for health systems, housing, and intergenerational collaboration.
