It is understood that Ayurveda has strength in this aspect of health care. Ayurveda being essentially the science of life and longevity, puts special emphasis on geriatric care and devotes one of its eight specialty branches, named Rasayana Tantra entirely o longevity specially its nutritional, immunological and neuro-protective aspects. After several rounds of meetings and intensive discussions, the working group has developed a 22-point training program. The module covers a comprehensive range of topics, both promotive and curative to expose the doctors to the basics of geriatric health care and management of diseases of the old age. Making this program participation-friendly it was decided to limit this training/ orientation program to six intensive days in two phases with a total of 72 hours. The specific topics identified essential for the purpose of training have been cased in a brief bi-phasic module shape which have been now published for use as a guideline for national training program. In order to facilitate the training program, it was envisaged to publish an extended manual on the subject, which has now been compiled by the same working group who drafted the module. the draft manual was submitted to a set of experts across the country for review and comments. The suggestions received from the reviewers have been incorporated in the final draft wherever considered necessary by the working group.
