  • Healthcare Sector Skill Council
  • NSQF

Certification pathway: We are working towards alignment with the applicable NSDC, Healthcare Sector Skill Council and NSQF frameworks. Formal recognition and certification will be subject to the applicable accreditation and approval process.

01 / The Gap

India is ageing.
But who will care for us?

01

Ageing

More older adults are living longer, increasing the need for dependable care.

02

Care workforce

Caregiving remains largely informal, fragmented and inconsistently trained.

03

Rural opportunity

Rural communities have people who can be trained into meaningful care careers.

The gap isn't simply a shortage of caregivers. It's a shortage of trained, trusted and employable caregivers.

02 / Our Vision

From caregiving to a career.

A proposed pathway that connects learning with practice, recognition and opportunity.

01

Learn

Build foundational care knowledge.

02

Practise

Apply skills with guidance.

03

Certify

Pursue applicable recognition.

04

Connect
