An Approach to Active Ageing

• Rapid advances in healthcare have increased the human life span, and India today has the second largest elderly population in the world. While longevity is a blessing, old age often brings challenges such as physical decline, emotional stress, loneliness, and inadequate family support. Many seniors are left feeling restless, bored, or dependent on others for even small needs. Traditional systems of care are shifting, and old age homes—though available—remain unaffordable or inaccessible for most families.
• MaaPe aims to provide a vibrant platform for seniors (55+) to relax, rejuvenate, and rediscover themselves. The program helps build self-confidence, reduce dependency on caretakers, and encourage lifelong learning. With a strong focus on Nature-based healthy living, the program integrates emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing through activities such as yoga, meditation, physiotherapy, naturopathy, art, music, and community engagement.
• As the United Nations has declared 2021–2030 as the Decade of Healthy Ageing, Project MaaPe stands as a timely intervention in India’s geriatric care landscape. It ensures that ageing is not seen as a decline, but as a stage of life that can be fulfilling, joyful, and socially connected. The multifaceted activities are designed to nurture physical health, mental agility, emotional balance, and spiritual growth.
