Thaawarchand Gehlot Launches SAGE Programme and Portal to support India’s Elderly Persons

The Union Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment, Shri Thaawarchand Gehlot virtually launched an initiative called, SAGE (Seniorcare Aging Growth Engine) on June 04, 2021, and also the SAGE portal to support India’s elderly persons.
The SAGE portal will act as a “one-stop access” of elderly care products and services by credible start-ups.
The start-ups will be selected under SAGE on the basis of innovative products and services, which they should be able to provide across sectors such as health, housing, care centers, apart from technological access linked to finances, food and wealth management, and legal guidance.
The basic aim of this initiative is to involve youth for elderly care by way of start-ups and their innovative ideas to make the elderly care a national movement than just a government programme.
