As per the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the elderly population in India is going to rise from 11.5% in 2025 to 19% in 2050. At Deusa Foundation, we aim at creating a society where people aren’t so worried about getting old, where there’s less stereotyping of older people, more intergenerational contact, and more opportunities to see older people as assets.

India has the world's largest youth population and it provides us with a unique demographic advantage. But, at the same time, more than 30% of Indian youth are unemployed and also not involved in any education or training. We nurtures the youth to become independent and competent beings so when he emerges from the nourishing cocoon of Deusa, they will be ready and skilled to take the challenges.

Our nation is one of the few countries in the world where women and men have nearly the same life expectancy at birth. The fact that the typical female advantage in life expectancy is not seen in India suggests there are systematic problems with women’s health. The Deusa Foundation have successfully trained 20 Tribal Women to be self reliant by making them able to weave the Deori Gamusa.
