Educational Insight
The work of Sathya Sadhana Foundation demonstrates that elder care is not just about meeting physical needs, it’s about restoring dignity, nurturing spirit, and rekindling joy. Upliftment is central to holistic aging and should be integrated into the curriculum of gerontology, psychology, and social work programs.
