Happy Folks Club Turns One: ISBR’s Unique Initiative for Senior Citizens Celebrates Milestone Year
As India navigates a demographic shift toward an aging population, ISBR Business School’s Happy Folks Club marks its first anniversary—emerging as a pioneering model for active aging, social innovation, and intergenerational engagement.
Launched in 2023 under the leadership of Dr. Manish Kothari, the initiative reflects ISBR’s commitment to inclusive, human-centered development. It reimagines retirement not as a phase of decline, but of renewed purpose, digital empowerment, and community integration.
One Year of Impact
Over the past year, the Club has engaged 400+ seniors through:
- Digital Literacy: Smartphone and safe banking training
- Cognitive & Physical Wellness: Yoga, storytelling, memory therapy
- Arts & Culture: Theatre, music, and heritage sessions
- Civic Participation: Mentoring, volunteering, and policy discussions
These programs foster dignity, mental agility, and lifelong learning, making the Happy Folks Club a blueprint for geriatric engagement in academic ecosystems.
A Heartfelt Note to End With
As the Happy Folks Club turns one, it reminds us that growing old is not about slowing down—it’s about finding new ways to shine. At ISBR, every silver strand tells a golden story, and every year adds not just age, but deeper meaning.
Here’s to more laughter, more learning, and more life—together.
