Mumbai, February 6, 2025: India is home to nearly one million senior living facilities, many of which lack essential amenities. This number is expected to rise to 2.5 million in the coming decade. The elderly population, comprising individuals aged 60 and above, is currently around 157 million and is anticipated to reach 347 million by 2050, further intensifying the challenges. At present, approximately 18 million senior citizens in the country are homeless.
In an effort to bridge the significant gap in elderly care, Padma Shri Dr. Mukesh Batra organized the much-anticipated Yaadon Ki Bahaar singing concert in its 13th year, to help elderly widows from The Shepherd Widows’ Home. Dr. Batra utilizes his talent to aid the elderly and encourages others as well to contribute towards the aging population with their talents. Dr Batra’s®️ Foundation, with a 30-year commitment to the health and well-being of older women, spearheads this crucial initiative, offering support through not only the concert but also free medical assistance.
Commenting on the initiative, Padma Shri Dr. Mukesh Batra, Chairman and Founder of Dr. Batra’s®️ Group of Companies said, “I strongly believe in embracing the elderly within the comfort of our homes, and the idea of adopting a grandparent is one whose time has truly arrived. I take pride in supporting numerous senior care homes across the country to enhance the lives of our older generation. Let us unite to build a society where kindness and care have no limits.”
Dr. Batra’s Positive Health Foundation recently hosted the 13th edition of its yearly singing concert, Yaadon Ki Bahaar at the YB Chavan Auditorium at Nariman Point, Mumbai. The concert featured a mix of old songs performed by Padma Shri Dr.Mukesh Batra, who is also the Chairman and Founder of Dr. Batra’s®️ Group of Companies.
Dr. Batra’s®️ Positive Health Foundation is the CSR arm of Dr. Batra’s®️ Group of Companies and has been making a profound difference in the lives of the less fortunate in the country. Initiated 24 years ago, the foundation currently runs 192 free clinics that provide lifetime free consultation and treatment on the 2nd Thursday of every month for the needy. Dr. Batra’s®️ Foundation has been associated with ten non-profit organizations across the country to spread the goodness of homeopathy to the underprivileged. The Foundation also grants scholarships to deserving students who wish to pursue studies in Homeopathy but cannot afford the fees.
