This year we have been celebrating our 30th anniversary.

Delivering a better society for all generations

ILC-India organized an online poetry competition on the topic of “Inter-generational Solidarity-Lockdown special” for older people. Entrants were requested to express themselves through their original poems and share their experiences of being with the family during lockdown and under the stressful situation of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Following a meeting of its members on Thursday, 7 May 2020, the ILC Global Alliance has prepared a Position Statement on isolation and abuse of older persons during the COVID-19 pandemic.

To mark the World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, ILC-India conducted an online Essay Competition for Senior Citizens. Around fifty essays were received, majority of them were from the state of Maharashtra.

A video targeting a simple task which can enhance and hone fine motor skills among the senior citizens was uploaded by ILC-India for older people staying home during the lockdown. In general, such activities keep seniors active and mentally healthy.

International Longevity Centre-India is organizing a Webinar Session on the topic "Social and Economic Aspects of Ageing- the changes perceived in the present pandemic situation" on 21st November 2020. Kindly attend the session through CISCO Webex and join us virtually.

As part of the ILC Global Alliance’s 30th anniversary celebrations, ILC-UK and ILC Singapore invite you to join us for a webinar to discuss how Hong Kong and Singapore are responding to the challenges of an ageing society.

Following the ULC-UK's year-long Prevention in an ageing world programme that sparked conversations from Abu Dhabi to Taipei, Austin, Geneva, Sydney, London all the way to the G20 Health Ministers, the message is clear. It’s never too late to prevent.

I wonder what Dr Robert Butler, Pulitzer Prize winner (non-fiction, 1976) and foremost physician and geriatrician, would say, if he were alive today, about how older people are being treated in this global pandemic.
