There is no dementia-specific national document in place or under development to our knowledge by the Government of India. However, the Alzheimer’s Related Disorders Society of India (ARDSI) had prepared a draft strategy document, which was handed over to the Health Minister in 2018 for consideration of adoption by the MoHFW (Alzheimer’s Related Disorders Society of India [ARDSI], 2018).
