New Delhi, May 22 (APAC Media): In a move to strengthen geriatric care in India, the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment launched the ‘JEEVAN’ and ‘SHATAYU’ applications.
The applications were launched by Dr. Virendra Kumar, Union Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment, during the National Workshop on “Creating a Well-Functioning Care Economy.” The initiative aims to strengthen support systems for senior citizens across the country.
Joint Elderly Empowerment & Virtual Assistance Network
JEEVAN, or Joint Elderly Empowerment & Virtual Assistance Network, is a mobile application that will work as a dedicated digital platform to enhance the safety, welfare, healthcare access, and social inclusion of senior citizens in India. The app provides a range of features aimed at addressing the needs and concerns of senior citizens, including information on government schemes and welfare programmes, emergency assistance and support services, and details of senior citizen homes supported by the Department of Social Justice and Empowerment.
Senior Holistic Care Assistance and Training For Your Utility
Another application, SHATAYU, or Senior Holistic Care Assistance and Training For Your Utility, was also launched. It is a dashboard developed to support and strengthen caregiving services for senior citizens across the country. The dashboard provides features such as information on the availability of geriatric caregivers in a particular district and the state for the senior citizens.
Both the applications aim to foster safety, care, dignity, and empowerment of senior citizens through technology-based caregiving support.
