Healthy aging refers to the process of aging in a way that maintains and promotes physical, mental and social well-being, allowing individuals to lead active, independent and fulfilling lives as they grow older.

Being an interactive session, many of the participants asked questions which were being clarified by Ms. Bhavna. The participants appreciated this initiative of BGVK and asked for more regular sessions on monthly basis. At the end of the programme, Ms. Bhavna proposed vote of thanks.
