'GRAND CARE' is a program conceptualized and implemented by Kudumbashree in association with health department. The program also has convergence with many other departments or missions like women and child Department, Social Justice Department, NRHM, Local Self Government etc.

Elderly people generally have less immunity and have co morbidity. hence if affected with Corona virus, they are more likely to have serious complications. In this regard it is essential to spread awareness that society should take precaution and extra care for the people who are ages above sixty.
