IGNOU plans to develop BSc programme in Geriatric care for caregivers

Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is planning to develop a three years BSc programme in Geriatric care for caregivers. The basic requirement is (10+2 with science). The university has asked the caregivers to provide their feedback on this course by filling out a Google form.

"This is a study on the need assessment for a 3-year Bachelor programme on Geriatric Care with the entry level at 10 + 2 with science in 12th grade followed by a one year internship. One of the important component of this programme will be a foreign language if you are interested in moving out of country. You can also opt for only English or a regional language if you are planning to stay in India. The objective of the programme is to update knowledge and skills to be able to serve as a geriatric care giver in India, for medical tourism or one of the countries abroad like Canada, European countries, Japan, Middle east etc," reads the official statement.

"We are in the process of preparing such a programme and your inputs in customising the programme to achieve such an objective will be valuable. The only purpose of this survey is to help us identify training priorities. The scores have no other purpose. Being a research study your data will be kept confidential and used only for the study," added the statement.

Admissions are open for other programs in July 2023

The university has announced that admissions are open for Certificate, PG Certificate, Diploma, PG Diploma, Advanced Diploma, Bachelor's and Master's Degree Programs in various disciplines. The admission portal carries information on all the programs offered by the university. Interested candidates can visit the IGNOU website www.ignou.ac.in for more information.
