DRES RRTC connects senior citizen welfare, active ageing and community development across Uttarakhand, with AYUVA as its dedicated Senior Citizen Welfare Wing.
A regional centre for learning, welfare and community development
DRES RRTC is the Regional Resource Training Centre of DRES in Uttarakhand. It works on senior citizen welfare, active ageing, training and capacity building, research, awareness and social empowerment, bringing these strands into one conversation about later life.
Our work is shaped by the communities we serve. We share what is known, make room for local knowledge, and build programmes with older residents, caregivers and district partners rather than for them.
Six focus areas
