A recent press release by UNICEF tells us that on New Year’s Day 2021 India welcomed 67,385 babies, the highest in the world 17% of the total new born babies. This gives us an idea of how the Indian population is growing up rapidly. It was 121 crores in 2011.when we shall have our next census in 2021, the figure is bound to be astounding. It is set to overtake the huge Chinese population. We can, therefore, easily guess the vast medical care required for this growing population, specially for the new born babies and senior citizens who number more than 100 crores at present. There is already a huge demand for nurses to take care of the babies as well as for physiotherapists to attend to the medical needs of senior citizens suffering from various age- related problems such as rheumatism, arthritis etc. Add to this the ever increasing number of sports persons and athletes who very often need urgent attention of physiotherapists even or the playing fields. As the population grows more and more, the demand for trained nurses and skilled physiotherapists will also go on increasing. Hence such skilled persons will always be in great demand in the job – market. They will never have to run after jobs, rather the opportunities will chase them holding out brighter prospects.
Dum Dum Institute Of Health Care Education (DDIHCE) which is engaged in imparting training in nursing and physiotherapy is ready to welcome young man and woman to equip them with necessary skill in the subject of their choice for the advancement of their careers.
