World AIDS Awareness Programme

NSS Unit, Dronacharya Group of Institutions, Greater Noida organized “World AIDS Awareness Programme” on 1st December, 2023. 12 NSS volunteers along with Dr. Mamta Bhardwaj (NSS PO, DGI) went to the adopted village Gari Samastpur to ignite the locals about the fatal AIDS. The theme of the awareness programme was “Let Communities Lead.”
The programme was organized with the objective of spreading awareness about AIDS and its prevention, highlighting the importance of safety nets for HIV-positive individuals, and encouraging young people to get tested for HIV. Followed by this, health education regarding causes, mode transmission, prevention and social stigma associated with HIV infection was disseminated. It was also advised that there must not be any discrimination among the AIDS patients.
Some of the locals had certain queries which were settled by the volunteers aptly. Around 150 villagers were benefitted from the awareness programme as they thanked the DGI NSS team for making such a great initiative.
