It is a condition in which a person is able to manage everyday difficulties, do fruitful work, and give back to his community and society at large. The general health of an individual as well as the society depends on their mental or psychological well-being. It refers to much more than just the absence of mental disorder. When a person has strong mental health, their quality of life is enhanced, and when they have poor mental health, they are unable to lead regular lives. Scientists note that mental health issues are a more prevalent cause of sickness and early death than physical ailments, and they predict that by 2030, depression will overtake heart disease as the top cause of disease worldwide. Aim: The resources for mental health are the subject of this study as though a person who needs this aid can benefit much from knowing them. Conclusion: A person's optimal functioning depends on their mental health, and maintaining that health is crucial for living a long, healthy, and fulfilling life. All of the aforementioned evidence emphasises the necessity of making investments in mental health, including early identification and treatment, as well as rehabilitation and improvement of general health, which benefits both the person and society's well-being and economy.

Although it is one of the biggest issues facing the community and poses substantial dangers to death, disability, and quality of life, low-income people, especially low-income employees, have limited understanding of the issue. In order to lower the prevalence of chronic disease and improve quality of life and wellbeing, it is essential to identify the characteristics that are associated with behaviors for managing it. An organisation must be committed and ready for change if it wants to improve the care it provides for people with chronic illnesses. With this study, we hope to better understand how this vulnerable group manages chronic illnesses. In order to uncover the elements impacting the chronic illness management behaviors of low-income workers, an integrated model is needed, which is what this research illuminates through an assessment of the literature's shortcomings. The Socio Ecological Model and Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) were integrated to help understand how low-income employees manage their chronic illnesses. As a result, this research offers crucial information on the factors that influence how low-income employees manage their chronic illnesses, and it also proposes an integrated model with the goal of generating testable hypotheses that would support empirical findings.

They can not only gain access to the numerous basic services and rights to which they are entitled, but also improve their standard of living by expanding their options. Children from underserved Indian communities who do not have access to literacy materials such as books and stories, as well as formal language, reading, and writing development, do not develop their brains as well as their more privileged counterparts. A substantial proportion of India's youngsters are unable to demonstrate even the most basic levels of reading achievement, a problem that has been highlighted in children from low-income households, scheduled castes and tribes, and ethnic minority groups. This review study is based on the source of secondary data include books, articles, libraries, reports, personal sources, journals, newspapers, websites, government records and online data, etc. An aim in this review article to identify the factors that cause children to be marginalized within socially disadvantaged groups as well as the challenges and opportunities that hinder or enable marginalised and vulnerable children from gaining access to their right to education. To achieve equitable and inclusive quality education and lifelong learning for everyone, it is critical to not only give access, but also to guarantee that marginalized children stay in school. Marginalized groups are frequently left behind, depriving children from their right to education. Discrimination fosters an unwelcoming environment, which can lead to absenteeism and eventually the children's refusal to attend school. Present educational programmes should equip to address the requirements of children who are vulnerable to marginalization and exclusion for establishing a brighter future together.

Countries with big populations, such as India, have a significant population of persons aged 60 and over. In India, the population over the age of 60 has quadrupled in the previous 50 years and will continue to rise in the near future. The population group is plagued by physical and psychological issues Healthy Aging seeks to improve health care and quality of life for the nation's elderly (above 60+) population. The nation will be built by encouraging, educating, and empowering the current and future generations. Aim: In order to provide long-term, comprehensive programmes and committed care to an ageing population, this study investigates the demographic profile of older people in India. This study aims to preserve and increase functional ability, maintain or improve self-care, and stimulate one's social network. Conclusion: The study's findings supported socioeconomic and demographic variations as causes of inequity in older Indian persons' ability to mature in a healthy way. It is discovered that in order to attain good ageing for everyone, social capital, low frailty, better health behaviours, and food security are essential.

Everyone wants to age 'successfully' with functional ability and a high quality of life as they get older. The study of the physical elements of ageing, as well as the mental, social, and societal ramifications of ageing, is known as gerontology. Various curable mental health illnesses affect older persons, just as they do younger adults. Furthermore, stresses typical in later life, such as the death of a loved one, relocation, health issues, caregiving duties, changes in work status, and poverty, have a substantial impact on older individuals' health and independence. Family connections, memory, capacity evaluation, health promotion, and substance misuse are some of the topics that geropsychology deals. Psychologists have made substantial contributions to the understanding and treatment of today's main health challenges including heart disease, cancer, mental illnesses, dementia, chronic pain, and arthritis, among others. Geropsychologists are at the forefront of research on health, ageing, and the impact of cognitive therapies on improving or maintaining general cognitive status in older persons with varying cognitive capacities. As older persons become more reliant on their adult offspring, family roles evolve and carers face a slew of new pressures, putting older adults and caregivers at risk for mental illness. Elderly people are entering nursing homes later and sicker than ever before, resulting in patients who are more physically frail and complicated, requiring more advanced care and therapy. Aim: The goal of this article is to look at the effect of behavioural and related psychological intervention in the ageing process of older persons. Conclusion: In the field of health and ageing research, Geropsychology is at the forefront. There is a rising need to comprehend and support initiatives to address their mental and behavioural health issues as well as to articulate an evolving positive ageing strategy framework for directing future treatments with older people. By providing psychotherapies and treatments to treat a range of diseases, ageing problems, and obstacles, geropsychology helps older persons live full lives well into their old age.

Giving care may have an attenuating or reducing effect due to personal resilience which is defined as a set of traits that safeguard an individual in adverse circumstances. According to the findings, Resilience is defined as the ability to go about one's daily life in a 'normal' manner and that a couple's connection and shared sense of resilience are essential to do so. The value of relationships in living well as well as the importance of dementia care within the family and community are emphasized. When supporting and caring for someone with dementia, caregivers must know how to assess family members' resilience, policy and practice must include such an assessment. When supporting and caring for someone with dementia, caregivers must know how to assess family members' resilience and policy and practice must incorporate an assessment of family members' resilience. This article intended to provide a theory and knowledge of resilience and hope between individuals with dementia living in family and community by reviewing resilience among family members and friends supporting and caring for a person living with dementia as how tenacious family caregivers and friends may be when it comes to supporting and caring for someone with dementia. Methodology: The Researcher has collected data from a variety of sources including websites, journals, articles, e-books, reports, commissions, national education plans, and articles published in local, national, and worldwide publications. Secondary data sources for this review study include books, articles, libraries, reports, personal sources, journals, newspapers, websites, online data. Aim and Objectives: The study came up with a definition for resilience and hope, as it figures out what elements contribute to people's resilience and how resilience influences their relationships and well-being. These studies will look into the notion of resilience and hope in dementia for both care recipient and the caregiver as well as the dynamics and components of their hope experiences. This is a summary of a comprehensive literature review on resilience in dementia patients and caregivers with the goal of better understanding the factors that promote resilience and hope and extent to which the viewpoint is maintained. Conclusion: The findings suggest that people with dementia and their caregivers use resources to maintain their resilience and hope however this perspective has been overlooked in previous studies. Positive relationships between social support and resilience as the community integration and resource utilization were discovered and investigated considering the greater body of literature with their implications for future research. The existing evidence on the influence of resilience and hope on family caregivers of people living with dementia is compiled in this comprehensive study.

Inclusion emerged as a viable solution to the problem of how to better teach these children. A good inclusive education permits all students to participate equally or nearly equally in all elements of the classroom. For the establishment of stronger and more inclusive schools, educators, parents, and community leaders must work together to solve the difficulties. The Indian government is working to enhance its education system by emphasising an inclusive approach. India is no new to the concept of inclusiveness. In today's world, the emphasis is still on providing an inclusive atmosphere for all children. Inclusive education refers to the education of all children in conventional schools, including those with and without impairments. It is a method that considers each child's individual qualities, interests, abilities, and learning needs. In today's educational system, inclusive education is gaining traction. Inclusion without 'sufficient' general school preparation will not produce satisfactory results. The capacity for inclusive education must be built at the community level, with activities such as community involvement and mobilization being included. Methodology: The Researcher has collected data from a variety of sources, including websites, journals, articles, e-books, reports, commissions, national education plans, and articles published in local, national, and worldwide publications. Secondary data sources for this review study include books, articles, libraries, reports, personal sources, journals, newspapers, websites, government documents, and online data, among others. Aims and Objectives: This article delves into the notion of inclusive education, including its issues and challenges, requirements, significance, obstacles, implementation strategies, existing policies and future prospects in India. However it is an endeavour to address the individual requirements of each child, including those with disabilities. Conclusion: The current study contributes to a better understanding of the necessity of inclusive education in schools. There are numerous advantages to inclusive education. The goal of universal education is achieved by such inclusive education. When inhibitions and boundaries are removed, education's position is elevated. It has been concluded that the incorporating children with disabilities in education is a difficult endeavour that necessitates widespread community mobilisation and participation as well as the provision of suitable answers to a wide range of learning needs of special children in both formal and non-formal contexts.

These factors interact to affect individual and population health and disease burdens, as well as to create health inequities and disparities within and within countries. Social determinants of health are particularly relevant in Latin American countries, which are marked by negative colonial legacies, massive social inequality, vast socioeconomic gaps, and widespread health inequities. Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) are the factors that influence a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and hazards in the places where individuals are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age. As significant elements related with psychological resilience in ageing whereas the psychological resources and emotional control dominated. Each level of development has its own set of risks, dangers, difficulties, opportunities, resources, and situations, all of which necessitate resilient procedures at the end. There is little evidence that being resilient in earlier stages of life (childhood, adolescence, and adulthood) ensures resilience in later life. Normal ageing and the hardy elderly should not be mistaken with someone who has lived a long life. The terms 'longevity' and 'resilience' are not interchangeable. When a person is affected by neurological problems (dementias, Alzheimer's) and psychological disorders that impair or prevent a life with meaning or meaning, this is referred to as 'pathological' longevity. Aim: The study's major goal was to investigate some of the elements associated with social determinants of health that promote Resilient Health in older persons with social support and subjective health changes elderly Ecuadorians as they age. Conclusion: This article provides an overview of resilience that may be relevant in the development of resilience treatments for the older population who are underserved. In later life the resilience is defined as the ability to tolerate hardship and 'Come Back to Life' or return to a state of equilibrium after certain negative events. In the long run, having the ability to cope with or manage misfortune or learning how to cope with or manage such adversity in Ecuador's ageing population may be a matter of having the ability or learning how to cope with or manage such adversity. The notions of health resilience in Ecuador's ageing population as compared to prevailing theoretical models and the most recent data on psychological resilience in the elderly.

Social work is a highly skilled profession that focuses on providing holistic treatment. The profession's important contribution and key role in psychosocial assessments is evidenced by social workers' demonstrated ability in navigating complex health and social care systems as well as their distinct psychosocial perspective. Social workers can also provide support during times of change, such as locating community resources and advocating if necessary. Among the activities that social workers are responsible for include assisting the elderly in acclimating to life in their new homes, advocating for their needs and rights, providing supportive counselling and performing psychosocial evaluations.

Countries with big populations, such as India, have a significant population of persons aged 60 and over. In India, the population over the age of 60 has quadrupled in the previous 50 years and will continue to rise in the near future. According to census 2001, older adults accounted for 7.7% of the total population, up from 8.14 % in census 2011. In the following four censuses, population forecasts for the next 60 years are: 133.32 million (2021), 178.59 million (2031), 236.01 million (2041), and 300.96 million (2051). Over the previous 40-50 years, shifting fertility and mortality regimes have resulted in a rise in the old population. It's likely that many older individuals accept illness as part of 'natural' ageing. Methodology: This review study is based on the source of secondary data include books, articles, libraries, reports, personal sources, journals, newspapers, websites, government records and online data, etc Aim: This study explores the demographic profile of older persons in India in order to offer longterm, comprehensive programs and committed care to an ageing population that is accessible, high quality to understand the implications of changing population age structure, concept of active and healthy ageing needs to be promoted among the elderly which includes preventive, promotive, curative and rehabilitative aspects of health. Conclusion: This finding is significant because self-perceived health status is a key predictor of health-care usage and adherence to treatment measures. Adopting healthy habits and behaviours, being active in your community, taking advantage of preventative services, managing health issues, and understanding all of your prescriptions may all help you live a more productive and meaningful life.

The four 'Varnas', as well as thousands of castes and sub-castes, were ranked one above the other, with contempt for those below one's Varna or caste and reverence and dread for those above one's Varna or caste. The most extreme type of scorn was 'untouchability'. The upper castes were tainted by the touch and even the shadow of the Untouchables. Even the Gods were tainted by the Untouchable's touch and admittance into the temples. Dr.Ambedkar laboured valiantly for Hindu social change. When he realised that reforming or reconstructing Hindu society from within was impossible, he turned to Buddhism. He hoped to employ Buddhism as a counterbalance to Hinduism. In 1956, Dr.Ambedkar and his followers adopted Buddhism, igniting a Buddhist revival movement (Neo-Buddhism). It was unusual in the history of any religion that such a large number of people changed to a specific faith at the same time, and in the case of our single individual. Even after Dr.Ambedkar's sad death, the conversion effort continued uninterrupted. He desired to reorganise the centuries-old social order around the democratic ideas of liberty, equality, fraternity, and social justice. Aim and Objectives: The purpose of this article is to look at the philosophical implications of Dr.Ambedkar's Buddhist perspective and the progressive democratic transformation process along with Neo-Buddhist revolutionary movement propounded by Dr.Ambedkar in India. Methodology: The Researcher has collected data from a variety of sources, including websites, journals, articles, e-books, reports, commissions and articles published in local, national, and worldwide publications. Secondary data sources for this review study include books, articles, libraries, reports, personal sources, journals, newspapers, websites and online data. Conclusion: Dr.Ambedkar abandoned Hinduism and converted to Buddhism, urging his millions of followers to do the same in order to create a model society based on equality, fraternity, and social justice, devoid of inequity, disrespect, pollution embarrassment. He hoped to employ Buddhism as a counterbalance to Hinduism. In 1956, it was Dr.Ambedkar and his followers who embraced Buddhism and helped to revitalise the Buddhist cause.

In the central government, it later turned against Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's cabinet. It was also known as the JP Movement and Sampoorna Kranti (Total Revolution Movement).The government attempted to prevent people from reaching Patna for the movement by issuing lathi charges. He realised that fighting within the democratic system, rather than in a party-less democracy, was more important, therefore he reached out to opposition groups, which eventually led to the foundation of the Janata Party. Total revolution necessitates structural changes in the social, political, and economic spheres. Total revolution, according to Gandhian political economy, necessitates a shift in property relations and production modes. Methodology: This research study is based on secondary data mostly on the books and articles related to Jayprakash Narayan. An attempt has been done to evaluate his thought about the reformation of the Indian political system. After understanding his thought and works, we will realize the role of JP to modify the political system to reconstruct Indian democracy. Aims and Objectives: Total Revolution's concept, components, and dynamics of change. The method of action that sparked the revolution. The goal of this movement is to alter not just the government, but also the society and the individual. Jayaprakesh Narayan's contribution to the improvement of the Indian political system and the Total Revolution in general. Conclusion: The Gandhian method to social change is expanded upon in Total Revolution. In the Gandhian paradigm, social change is a broad and encompassing concept. Partially changing any component of the social matrix, according to Gandhi, is likely to cause social discord. Gandhi's revolution was a purification process that evolved over time. Gandhi's approach was not restricted to a change in an individual's lifestyle, mind structure, or behaviour pattern. As a result, society must change in tandem with individual revolution. It encompasses the complete spectrum of values, as well as social and institutional systems. The focus on each of the elements that make up the continuum.

Never before has the world's population been as mature as it is now. The research tool was 'health status,' and psychological and social wellness were utilized to examine psychological difficulties connected with the gender of senior geriatric patients, as well as social problems. Increased mortality, prolonged length of stay, high rates of readmission, placement in a skilled care facility, delirium, and functional deterioration are all possible outcomes for the hospitalized senior. Individual patients and families, as well as the healthcare system as a whole, are affected by these outcomes in medical, emotional, and economic ways. Conclusion: Care for the aged must be approached in a specific psychological and functional context, in addition to disease-based management. In the case of approaching an elderly patient, a thorough geriatric assessment is essential.

Many demands arise in numerous areas as a result of the shift to the new role of caregiver, such as the need for knowledge and skills for selfcare. These requirements are progressive in nature, with know-how becoming more important at an earlier stage in the process. Year after year, the number of older people in India and around the world grows, posing difficulties such as decreased quality of life and social assistance for the elderly. There is a substantial body of information on the impact of caregiving, the majority of which is based on the care of fragile older persons, particularly those with dementia, diabetes, or Parkinson's disease. It discusses caregiver responsibilities, the changing nature of caregiving over time, the increasing complexity and scope of caregiver roles, and surrogate decision-making difficulties. Family caregiving is more intensive, difficult, and long-term than it has ever been, and carers are rarely adequately prepared. Many caregivers, according to a growing body of data, suffer from negative psychological repercussions. Caregivers should have access to high-quality, evidence-based interventions that can help them avoid or lessen negative health impacts. This article introduces the notion of social support and discusses the ways through which it leads to a healthy and long life. To explain inequalities in the availability of social support in later life, it uses taskspecificity and hierarchical compensation models. Although there are numerous methods to operationalize social support, it is typically defined as structural, functional, and appraisal support. The structural dimension of social support is the social network's composition and the availability of people to assist the individual; the functional dimension is the amount of instrumental, emotional, and financial support; and the appraisal dimension is a subjective assessment of the level of satisfaction with the support. Many things have arisen in our lives as a result of the changing work environment. Although the phrase "change" is a constant, the term "globalised" refers to the fact that we require change at all times due to the rapid rate of development. Change is unavoidable, and no one can reject it until they have experienced it. The spice of life is change. It adds to the enjoyment of life. The majority of the time, it benefits us, but it may also produce tension, irritation, and stress. As a result, stress has become a part of our everyday lives. When biological, psychological, and environmental demands exceed an individual's ability to adjust, stress occurs. In this article, we look at the shifting demographics of India's elders, as well as what it means to engage in family caregiving for the elderly, and how caregiving differs depending on social support and life satisfaction. Stress has a negative impact on our daily lives these days, and it lowers our life contentment. At this point, everyone, especially the elderly, requires social assistance to maintain their level of life satisfaction. Aim: It is aimed to identify the primary requirements voiced by family caregivers in providing care for the elders, as well as the relationship between life satisfaction and its many variables among the elderly in order to analyse the effects of social support on total life satisfaction. Conclusion: The varied and changing roles of older adult caregivers, as well as the influence of these roles on caregivers' health and well-being, are discussed. Emotional requirements are regarded as a vital source of support for this new position, lowering caregiver stress. The significance of formal support, including social needs such as caregiver rest, the existence of a caregiver support network, and financial and structural support for care are also discussed. Every citizen has the right to life enjoyment, which is vital for good ageing. Because age-related degeneration and degradation begin in middle age, a study of life satisfaction from that age is

Methods: In this descriptive study, data is bibliometric data is collected from Scopus database with relevant search terms limiting the search to BRICS nations. Data collected in CSV format and analysis is performed using MS-Excel. Network analysis and visualization is done using VOSviewer. Results: From the publications published between 1998 to September 2021, China leads in the number of publications (51.72% share) and maximum publications are in the year 2020. Chinese institution Huazhong University of Science and Technology has the maximum publications in name. Li, J is the most productive author. China, Female, Male are some prominent keywords. Conclusion: Despite the recent increase in geriatric research globally, the research output and quality of publications were low and did not address commonly seen geriatrics health conditions such as dementia, delirium and polypharmacy. More high-quality research directed to address common geriatrics conditions is needed to better inform decision making.

It is a condition in which a person is able to manage everyday difficulties, do fruitful work, and give back to his community and society at large. The general health of an individual as well as the society depends on their mental or psychological well-being. It refers to much more than just the absence of mental disorder. When a person has strong mental health, their quality of life is enhanced, and when they have poor mental health, they are unable to lead regular lives. Scientists note that mental health issues are a more prevalent cause of sickness and early death than physical ailments, and they predict that by 2030, depression will overtake heart disease as the top cause of disease worldwide.

The culture of Ecuador is a colourful fusion of African, European, and American Indian customs. Even though children's situations in Ecuador have significantly improved recently, more has to be done, notably in the areas of education, healthcare, gender equality, and children's everyday living circumstances. Despite recent considerable improvements for children in Ecuador, more has to be done, particularly in the areas of education, healthcare, gender equality, and children's day-today living conditions. With the establishment of the Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the current study seeks to develop a human rights-based strategy to realise every child's rights, particularly those of the most disadvantaged, and to heed the call to "leave no child behind" in order to uphold those rights for every child in Ecuador. The nation frequently implements fresh tactics to improve child protection. Despite these initiatives, children's concerns continue to hinder the country's development. The absence of regulations and actions by the government to protect school-aged children is one of the problems that has to be resolved first.

Although it is one of the biggest issues facing the community and poses substantial dangers to death, disability, and quality of life, low-income people, especially low-income employees, have limited understanding of the issue. In order to lower the prevalence of chronic disease and improve quality of life and wellbeing, it is essential to identify the characteristics that are associated with behaviors for managing it. An organisation must be committed and ready for change if it wants to improve the care it provides for people with chronic illnesses. With this study, we hope to better understand how this vulnerable group manages chronic illnesses. In order to uncover the elements impacting the chronic illness management behaviors of low-income workers, an integrated model is needed, which is what this research illuminates through an assessment of the literature's shortcomings. The Socio Ecological Model and Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) were integrated to help understand how low-income employees manage their chronic illnesses. As a result, this research offers crucial information on the factors that influence how low-income employees manage their chronic illnesses, and it also proposes an integrated model with the goal of generating testable hypotheses that would support empirical findings.

They can not only gain access to the numerous basic services and rights to which they are entitled, but also improve their standard of living by expanding their options. Children from underserved Indian communities who do not have access to literacy materials such as books and stories, as well as formal language, reading, and writing development, do not develop their brains as well as their more privileged counterparts. A substantial proportion of India's youngsters are unable to demonstrate even the most basic levels of reading achievement, a problem that has been highlighted in children from low-income households, scheduled castes and tribes, and ethnic minority groups. This review study is based on the source of secondary data include books, articles, libraries, reports, personal sources, journals, newspapers, websites, government records and online data, etc. An aim in this review article to identify the factors that cause children to be marginalized within socially disadvantaged groups as well as the challenges and opportunities that hinder or enable marginalised and vulnerable children from gaining access to their right to education. To achieve equitable and inclusive quality education and lifelong learning for everyone, it is critical to not only give access, but also to guarantee that marginalized children stay in school. Marginalized groups are frequently left behind, depriving children from their right to education. Discrimination fosters an unwelcoming environment, which can lead to absenteeism and eventually the children's refusal to attend school. Present educational programmes should equip to address the requirements of children who are vulnerable to marginalization and exclusion for establishing a brighter future together.

Countries with big populations, such as India, have a significant population of persons aged 60 and over. In India, the population over the age of 60 has quadrupled in the previous 50 years and will continue to rise in the near future. The population group is plagued by physical and psychological issues Healthy Aging seeks to improve health care and quality of life for the nation's elderly (above 60+) population. The nation will be built by encouraging, educating, and empowering the current and future generations. Aim: In order to provide long-term, comprehensive programmes and committed care to an ageing population, this study investigates the demographic profile of older people in India. This study aims to preserve and increase functional ability, maintain or improve self-care, and stimulate one's social network. Conclusion: The study's findings supported socioeconomic and demographic variations as causes of inequity in older Indian persons' ability to mature in a healthy way. It is discovered that in order to attain good ageing for everyone, social capital, low frailty, better health behaviours, and food security are essential.

Everyone wants to age 'successfully' with functional ability and a high quality of life as they get older. The study of the physical elements of ageing, as well as the mental, social, and societal ramifications of ageing, is known as gerontology. Various curable mental health illnesses affect older persons, just as they do younger adults. Furthermore, stresses typical in later life, such as the death of a loved one, relocation, health issues, caregiving duties, changes in work status, and poverty, have a substantial impact on older individuals' health and independence. Family connections, memory, capacity evaluation, health promotion, and substance misuse are some of the topics that geropsychology deals. Psychologists have made substantial contributions to the understanding and treatment of today's main health challenges including heart disease, cancer, mental illnesses, dementia, chronic pain, and arthritis, among others. Geropsychologists are at the forefront of research on health, ageing, and the impact of cognitive therapies on improving or maintaining general cognitive status in older persons with varying cognitive capacities. As older persons become more reliant on their adult offspring, family roles evolve and carers face a slew of new pressures, putting older adults and caregivers at risk for mental illness. Elderly people are entering nursing homes later and sicker than ever before, resulting in patients who are more physically frail and complicated, requiring more advanced care and therapy. Aim: The goal of this article is to look at the effect of behavioural and related psychological intervention in the ageing process of older persons. Conclusion: In the field of health and ageing research, Geropsychology is at the forefront. There is a rising need to comprehend and support initiatives to address their mental and behavioural health issues as well as to articulate an evolving positive ageing strategy framework for directing future treatments with older people. By providing psychotherapies and treatments to treat a range of diseases, ageing problems, and obstacles, geropsychology helps older persons live full lives well into their old age.

Giving care may have an attenuating or reducing effect due to personal resilience which is defined as a set of traits that safeguard an individual in adverse circumstances. According to the findings, Resilience is defined as the ability to go about one's daily life in a 'normal' manner and that a couple's connection and shared sense of resilience are essential to do so. The value of relationships in living well as well as the importance of dementia care within the family and community are emphasized. When supporting and caring for someone with dementia, caregivers must know how to assess family members' resilience, policy and practice must include such an assessment. When supporting and caring for someone with dementia, caregivers must know how to assess family members' resilience and policy and practice must incorporate an assessment of family members' resilience. This article intended to provide a theory and knowledge of resilience and hope between individuals with dementia living in family and community by reviewing resilience among family members and friends supporting and caring for a person living with dementia as how tenacious family caregivers and friends may be when it comes to supporting and caring for someone with dementia. Methodology: The Researcher has collected data from a variety of sources including websites, journals, articles, e-books, reports, commissions, national education plans, and articles published in local, national, and worldwide publications. Secondary data sources for this review study include books, articles, libraries, reports, personal sources, journals, newspapers, websites, online data. Aim and Objectives: The study came up with a definition for resilience and hope, as it figures out what elements contribute to people's resilience and how resilience influences their relationships and well-being. These studies will look into the notion of resilience and hope in dementia for both care recipient and the caregiver as well as the dynamics and components of their hope experiences. This is a summary of a comprehensive literature review on resilience in dementia patients and caregivers with the goal of better understanding the factors that promote resilience and hope and extent to which the viewpoint is maintained. Conclusion: The findings suggest that people with dementia and their caregivers use resources to maintain their resilience and hope however this perspective has been overlooked in previous studies. Positive relationships between social support and resilience as the community integration and resource utilization were discovered and investigated considering the greater body of literature with their implications for future research. The existing evidence on the influence of resilience and hope on family caregivers of people living with dementia is compiled in this comprehensive study.

Inclusion emerged as a viable solution to the problem of how to better teach these children. A good inclusive education permits all students to participate equally or nearly equally in all elements of the classroom. For the establishment of stronger and more inclusive schools, educators, parents, and community leaders must work together to solve the difficulties. The Indian government is working to enhance its education system by emphasising an inclusive approach. India is no new to the concept of inclusiveness. In today's world, the emphasis is still on providing an inclusive atmosphere for all children. Inclusive education refers to the education of all children in conventional schools, including those with and without impairments. It is a method that considers each child's individual qualities, interests, abilities, and learning needs. In today's educational system, inclusive education is gaining traction. Inclusion without 'sufficient' general school preparation will not produce satisfactory results. The capacity for inclusive education must be built at the community level, with activities such as community involvement and mobilization being included. Methodology: The Researcher has collected data from a variety of sources, including websites, journals, articles, e-books, reports, commissions, national education plans, and articles published in local, national, and worldwide publications. Secondary data sources for this review study include books, articles, libraries, reports, personal sources, journals, newspapers, websites, government documents, and online data, among others. Aims and Objectives: This article delves into the notion of inclusive education, including its issues and challenges, requirements, significance, obstacles, implementation strategies, existing policies and future prospects in India. However it is an endeavour to address the individual requirements of each child, including those with disabilities. Conclusion: The current study contributes to a better understanding of the necessity of inclusive education in schools. There are numerous advantages to inclusive education. The goal of universal education is achieved by such inclusive education. When inhibitions and boundaries are removed, education's position is elevated. It has been concluded that the incorporating children with disabilities in education is a difficult endeavour that necessitates widespread community mobilisation and participation as well as the provision of suitable answers to a wide range of learning needs of special children in both formal and non-formal contexts.

These factors interact to affect individual and population health and disease burdens, as well as to create health inequities and disparities within and within countries. Social determinants of health are particularly relevant in Latin American countries, which are marked by negative colonial legacies, massive social inequality, vast socioeconomic gaps, and widespread health inequities. Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) are the factors that influence a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and hazards in the places where individuals are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age. As significant elements related with psychological resilience in ageing whereas the psychological resources and emotional control dominated. Each level of development has its own set of risks, dangers, difficulties, opportunities, resources, and situations, all of which necessitate resilient procedures at the end. There is little evidence that being resilient in earlier stages of life (childhood, adolescence, and adulthood) ensures resilience in later life. Normal ageing and the hardy elderly should not be mistaken with someone who has lived a long life. The terms 'longevity' and 'resilience' are not interchangeable. When a person is affected by neurological problems (dementias, Alzheimer's) and psychological disorders that impair or prevent a life with meaning or meaning, this is referred to as 'pathological' longevity. Aim: The study's major goal was to investigate some of the elements associated with social determinants of health that promote Resilient Health in older persons with social support and subjective health changes elderly Ecuadorians as they age. Conclusion: This article provides an overview of resilience that may be relevant in the development of resilience treatments for the older population who are underserved. In later life the resilience is defined as the ability to tolerate hardship and 'Come Back to Life' or return to a state of equilibrium after certain negative events. In the long run, having the ability to cope with or manage misfortune or learning how to cope with or manage such adversity in Ecuador's ageing population may be a matter of having the ability or learning how to cope with or manage such adversity. The notions of health resilience in Ecuador's ageing population as compared to prevailing theoretical models and the most recent data on psychological resilience in the elderly.

Social work is a highly skilled profession that focuses on providing holistic treatment. The profession's important contribution and key role in psychosocial assessments is evidenced by social workers' demonstrated ability in navigating complex health and social care systems as well as their distinct psychosocial perspective. Social workers can also provide support during times of change, such as locating community resources and advocating if necessary. Among the activities that social workers are responsible for include assisting the elderly in acclimating to life in their new homes, advocating for their needs and rights, providing supportive counselling and performing psychosocial evaluations.

Countries with big populations, such as India, have a significant population of persons aged 60 and over. In India, the population over the age of 60 has quadrupled in the previous 50 years and will continue to rise in the near future. According to census 2001, older adults accounted for 7.7% of the total population, up from 8.14 % in census 2011. In the following four censuses, population forecasts for the next 60 years are: 133.32 million (2021), 178.59 million (2031), 236.01 million (2041), and 300.96 million (2051). Over the previous 40-50 years, shifting fertility and mortality regimes have resulted in a rise in the old population. It's likely that many older individuals accept illness as part of 'natural' ageing. Methodology: This review study is based on the source of secondary data include books, articles, libraries, reports, personal sources, journals, newspapers, websites, government records and online data, etc Aim: This study explores the demographic profile of older persons in India in order to offer longterm, comprehensive programs and committed care to an ageing population that is accessible, high quality to understand the implications of changing population age structure, concept of active and healthy ageing needs to be promoted among the elderly which includes preventive, promotive, curative and rehabilitative aspects of health. Conclusion: This finding is significant because self-perceived health status is a key predictor of health-care usage and adherence to treatment measures. Adopting healthy habits and behaviours, being active in your community, taking advantage of preventative services, managing health issues, and understanding all of your prescriptions may all help you live a more productive and meaningful life.

The four 'Varnas', as well as thousands of castes and sub-castes, were ranked one above the other, with contempt for those below one's Varna or caste and reverence and dread for those above one's Varna or caste. The most extreme type of scorn was 'untouchability'. The upper castes were tainted by the touch and even the shadow of the Untouchables. Even the Gods were tainted by the Untouchable's touch and admittance into the temples. Dr.Ambedkar laboured valiantly for Hindu social change. When he realised that reforming or reconstructing Hindu society from within was impossible, he turned to Buddhism. He hoped to employ Buddhism as a counterbalance to Hinduism. In 1956, Dr.Ambedkar and his followers adopted Buddhism, igniting a Buddhist revival movement (Neo-Buddhism). It was unusual in the history of any religion that such a large number of people changed to a specific faith at the same time, and in the case of our single individual. Even after Dr.Ambedkar's sad death, the conversion effort continued uninterrupted. He desired to reorganise the centuries-old social order around the democratic ideas of liberty, equality, fraternity, and social justice. Aim and Objectives: The purpose of this article is to look at the philosophical implications of Dr.Ambedkar's Buddhist perspective and the progressive democratic transformation process along with Neo-Buddhist revolutionary movement propounded by Dr.Ambedkar in India. Methodology: The Researcher has collected data from a variety of sources, including websites, journals, articles, e-books, reports, commissions and articles published in local, national, and worldwide publications. Secondary data sources for this review study include books, articles, libraries, reports, personal sources, journals, newspapers, websites and online data. Conclusion: Dr.Ambedkar abandoned Hinduism and converted to Buddhism, urging his millions of followers to do the same in order to create a model society based on equality, fraternity, and social justice, devoid of inequity, disrespect, pollution embarrassment. He hoped to employ Buddhism as a counterbalance to Hinduism. In 1956, it was Dr.Ambedkar and his followers who embraced Buddhism and helped to revitalise the Buddhist cause.

In the central government, it later turned against Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's cabinet. It was also known as the JP Movement and Sampoorna Kranti (Total Revolution Movement).The government attempted to prevent people from reaching Patna for the movement by issuing lathi charges. He realised that fighting within the democratic system, rather than in a party-less democracy, was more important, therefore he reached out to opposition groups, which eventually led to the foundation of the Janata Party. Total revolution necessitates structural changes in the social, political, and economic spheres. Total revolution, according to Gandhian political economy, necessitates a shift in property relations and production modes. Methodology: This research study is based on secondary data mostly on the books and articles related to Jayprakash Narayan. An attempt has been done to evaluate his thought about the reformation of the Indian political system. After understanding his thought and works, we will realize the role of JP to modify the political system to reconstruct Indian democracy. Aims and Objectives: Total Revolution's concept, components, and dynamics of change. The method of action that sparked the revolution. The goal of this movement is to alter not just the government, but also the society and the individual. Jayaprakesh Narayan's contribution to the improvement of the Indian political system and the Total Revolution in general. Conclusion: The Gandhian method to social change is expanded upon in Total Revolution. In the Gandhian paradigm, social change is a broad and encompassing concept. Partially changing any component of the social matrix, according to Gandhi, is likely to cause social discord. Gandhi's revolution was a purification process that evolved over time. Gandhi's approach was not restricted to a change in an individual's lifestyle, mind structure, or behaviour pattern. As a result, society must change in tandem with individual revolution. It encompasses the complete spectrum of values, as well as social and institutional systems. The focus on each of the elements that make up the continuum.

Never before has the world's population been as mature as it is now. The research tool was 'health status,' and psychological and social wellness were utilized to examine psychological difficulties connected with the gender of senior geriatric patients, as well as social problems. Increased mortality, prolonged length of stay, high rates of readmission, placement in a skilled care facility, delirium, and functional deterioration are all possible outcomes for the hospitalized senior. Individual patients and families, as well as the healthcare system as a whole, are affected by these outcomes in medical, emotional, and economic ways. Conclusion: Care for the aged must be approached in a specific psychological and functional context, in addition to disease-based management. In the case of approaching an elderly patient, a thorough geriatric assessment is essential.

Many demands arise in numerous areas as a result of the shift to the new role of caregiver, such as the need for knowledge and skills for selfcare. These requirements are progressive in nature, with know-how becoming more important at an earlier stage in the process. Year after year, the number of older people in India and around the world grows, posing difficulties such as decreased quality of life and social assistance for the elderly. There is a substantial body of information on the impact of caregiving, the majority of which is based on the care of fragile older persons, particularly those with dementia, diabetes, or Parkinson's disease. It discusses caregiver responsibilities, the changing nature of caregiving over time, the increasing complexity and scope of caregiver roles, and surrogate decision-making difficulties. Family caregiving is more intensive, difficult, and long-term than it has ever been, and carers are rarely adequately prepared. Many caregivers, according to a growing body of data, suffer from negative psychological repercussions. Caregivers should have access to high-quality, evidence-based interventions that can help them avoid or lessen negative health impacts. This article introduces the notion of social support and discusses the ways through which it leads to a healthy and long life. To explain inequalities in the availability of social support in later life, it uses taskspecificity and hierarchical compensation models. Although there are numerous methods to operationalize social support, it is typically defined as structural, functional, and appraisal support. The structural dimension of social support is the social network's composition and the availability of people to assist the individual; the functional dimension is the amount of instrumental, emotional, and financial support; and the appraisal dimension is a subjective assessment of the level of satisfaction with the support. Many things have arisen in our lives as a result of the changing work environment. Although the phrase "change" is a constant, the term "globalised" refers to the fact that we require change at all times due to the rapid rate of development. Change is unavoidable, and no one can reject it until they have experienced it. The spice of life is change. It adds to the enjoyment of life. The majority of the time, it benefits us, but it may also produce tension, irritation, and stress. As a result, stress has become a part of our everyday lives. When biological, psychological, and environmental demands exceed an individual's ability to adjust, stress occurs. In this article, we look at the shifting demographics of India's elders, as well as what it means to engage in family caregiving for the elderly, and how caregiving differs depending on social support and life satisfaction. Stress has a negative impact on our daily lives these days, and it lowers our life contentment. At this point, everyone, especially the elderly, requires social assistance to maintain their level of life satisfaction. Aim: It is aimed to identify the primary requirements voiced by family caregivers in providing care for the elders, as well as the relationship between life satisfaction and its many variables among the elderly in order to analyse the effects of social support on total life satisfaction. Conclusion: The varied and changing roles of older adult caregivers, as well as the influence of these roles on caregivers' health and well-being, are discussed. Emotional requirements are regarded as a vital source of support for this new position, lowering caregiver stress. The significance of formal support, including social needs such as caregiver rest, the existence of a caregiver support network, and financial and structural support for care are also discussed. Every citizen has the right to life enjoyment, which is vital for good ageing. Because age-related degeneration and degradation begin in middle age, a study of life satisfaction from that age is

Methods: In this descriptive study, data is bibliometric data is collected from Scopus database with relevant search terms limiting the search to BRICS nations. Data collected in CSV format and analysis is performed using MS-Excel. Network analysis and visualization is done using VOSviewer. Results: From the publications published between 1998 to September 2021, China leads in the number of publications (51.72% share) and maximum publications are in the year 2020. Chinese institution Huazhong University of Science and Technology has the maximum publications in name. Li, J is the most productive author. China, Female, Male are some prominent keywords. Conclusion: Despite the recent increase in geriatric research globally, the research output and quality of publications were low and did not address commonly seen geriatrics health conditions such as dementia, delirium and polypharmacy. More high-quality research directed to address common geriatrics conditions is needed to better inform decision making.
