Alzheimer's And Related Disorders Society of India, Calcutta Chapter ARDSI, Calcutta Chapter is a registered Society that provides care & support for people with dementia

Alzheimer’s And Related Disorders Society of India (ARDSI) Calcutta Chapter is a registered NGO under the West Bengal Societies Registration Act. This organization provides care and support for people with Dementia and their families. There are estimated 55 million people worldwide with dementia and these figures are projected to reach 139 million by the year 2050. Moreover, 68 per cent of this 139 million old people will be in the developing countries like India. With rapidly changing demographic pattern, it is therefore mandatory that dementia should be a national health priority and the funding of dementia research should form an essential part of the society’s response to the dementia epidemic. The limitations of finances remain perpetual and formidable obstacles for our society. We will appreciate if you could support the urgent cause of tackling dementia through our research work. Caring for this affected population is a joint effort of all those who can still reason and remember. We truly believe you share the same thought and will join us in our mission.

A meaningful conversation with Future Social Workers at the Department of Social Work(SXUK), St. Xavier’s University, Kolkata, on a subject that touches individuals, families and communities — brain health, ageing and dementia.
Dementia is not only a medical concern. It is also a social, emotional and human experience. And this is where social workers have an important role to play — in creating awareness, reducing stigma, supporting families, advocating for dignity and helping build more inclusive communities.
The session was an invitation to look beyond the diagnosis and see the person, the family, the relationships and the possibilities that remain.
Because tomorrow’s social workers can help shape a society where ageing is understood, brain health is valued, and living with dementia does not mean living without dignity.

World Alzheimer’s Month Annual Seminar 2026
A day of meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and collective action towards a more dementia-inclusive society.

We were honoured by the presence of the Hon’ble Minister of Health & Family Welfare, Government of West Bengal, as we came together to reinforce an important message: “The earlier you know, the more you can do – a dementia diagnosis matters.”

Through expert insights, family caregiver voices, and conversations that placed the person at the heart of care, the seminar reminded us that a diagnosis is not the end of life’s journey, but an opportunity to understand, prepare, and continue living with dignity and purpose.

What happens when dementia finds its way into the world of cinema? When a filmmaker tells a story, a doctor brings the lens of medical understanding, and a family caregiver shares the deeply personal reality of caring for a loved one?

This evening at the British Council, Kolkata, hosted in collaboration with ARDSI Calcutta, brought these perspectives together through a special message from Mr. Chris Lynch, the Acting Chief Executive Officer and Director of Policy, Research, Communications & Publications, Alzheimer’s Disease International. Followed by the screening of Muhurto, a poignant documentary on dementia and caregiving, followed by an engaging panel discussion moderated by Dr. Nishi Pulugurtha .

The conversation brought together the worlds of healthcare, filmmaking, and lived experience, reminding us that dementia is not merely a medical diagnosis. It is a human journey—one that touches relationships, memories, identities, and the very essence of care.

Our heartfelt gratitude to the British Council, Mr. Chris Lynch, the filmmaker, the doctor, the family caregiver, moderator and everyone who contributed to making this evening of reflection and awareness so meaningful.
Because sometimes, a story on screen can help us see life a little differently. ❤️

As part of World Alzheimer’s Month, ARDSI Calcutta had the privilege of engaging with elderly patients, their family members, and nursing staff at Tapan Sinha Memorial Hospital, Tollygunge, Kolkata, in a meaningful conversation on Brain Health and Dementia.

What made this interaction truly special was the opportunity to bring together older adults, their loved ones, and caregivers in one space to talk, listen, learn, and share experiences.

Our heartfelt thanks to the hospital authorities, nursing team, patients, and families for making this interaction so warm, engaging, and memorable.
Together, let us build a more informed, compassionate, and dementia-inclusive society.
