KOLKATA, INDIA – Shirsha Guha, Chief Operating Officer of Saint James School of Medicine and Director of Deep Probeen Porisheba (DPP) has been featured as an ‘agent of change’ in the Simply Kolkata supplement of “India Today” magazine. Along with five other changemakers, Guha received this commendable title for her devotion to providing professional care and comfort to the elderly.
The recent publishing of this article comes a few months after the launch of in home health care for the elderly throughout all of Kolkata and the interactive discussion entitled ‘Care of Elderly Charity or Necessity.’ Its goal was to shed light on the problems faced by India’s elderly whose children either live abroad or have become too busy with their professional lives to pay attention to their aging parent’s healthcare.
"Having an army of caregivers in the form of ayahs, nurses, drivers and maidservants isn't enough," says Guha in the story. "What [these elderly people] need is an equal companion.”
What started as a visit to an old relative quickly became an awe-inspiring vision for the future of elderly care for the 39-year-old Guha. DPP has reached a total of 70 members currently working to provide traditional care and innovative solutions to common problems for the elderly.
Other changemakers include Principal Manabi Bandyopadhay of Krishnanagar Women’s College; President Dr. Mukti Gupta of the Mukti Group; Tumpa Adhikary, a 27-year-old community worker; gay rights activist Dr. Tirthankar Guha Thakurta; and Sharkat Alam, Joint Secretary of Tijala SHED.
