National Institute of Social Defence (NISD), is an autonomous body under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India.
The Institute is dedicated to developing and facilitating comprehensive, effective and specialized interventions in the area of Social Defence.
NISD functions as an advisory body for Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Government of India and Resource and Training Centre of Excellence in the field of Social Defence.
The Institute’s areas of concern are Juvenile Justice, Child Protection, Old Age Care, Drug Abuse Prevention and related sectors.
In order to cope up with the problems faced by the Aged, it is necessary that the care givers be made aware of the physical and mental conditions and problems of the elderly people so as to meet their needs as far as possible in the home setting.
Under this initiative, the NISD runs a series of Programmes/Certificate Courses to educate and train persons who can provide care to older persons in the family and community settings. The Institute is also carrying out orientation programmes in several regions of the country to generate awareness among senior citizens on the welfare facilities/programmes available for them and also sensitize government and non-government functionaries on special needs of the elderly.

Fortunately Govt. taking inititiative to welfare for the Elderly through NICE but the geriatric cadres of Indian Government are searching job for welfare of Elderly, Government will noot take the responsibility to care and protect Geriatric animators who trained by NISD in different centrers of the Country. They are ignoring the future of the Care givers who are unemployed. Government should take the responsiblity under National Service Act,1972. to employ their trainees to save their social security.
