AIDS Awareness Programme (1/12/2023) Goals -To make students aware of the causes of the spread of HIV AIDS - To create awareness of symptoms of HIV AIDS - To make students alert about the healthy life to HIV AIDS positive person - To build awareness of prevention of HIV AIDS Context Infinite number of people are infected with HIV/AIDS. Therefore many children are being orphaned due to the same reason. Everyone does have knowledge of the devastating effects of HIV positive. It is estimated that 7 million South Africans are HIV positive. There is in actual sense no remedy for HIV/Aids. In such a situation the only way to overcome this disease is to spread awareness of this incurable challenge. The best method to prevent this fatal issue is to create awareness and educate people about this. Infected people cannot live longer lives. Surveys have shown that working age groups as well as child bearing ladies are the victims of this trouble. Without spreading awareness this can never be solved. Contemplating the urgent solution to this grave issue, Dharmendrasinhji Arts College, Rajkot conducts several activities through which our team can guide undergraduates about HIV/AIDS. On 1/12/2023, our college conducted this event in Seminar Hall at 12:30 pm. The whole awareness programme was arranged by NAAC Criterion Team, Dr Krishna Daiya and Dr Hansa Gujariya. This function was anchored by Dr. Hansa Gujariya. Mr Manuel Lobo was the chief guest of the programme who gave an illuminating lecture on Touching and Eating Together Does not Spread AIDS Breaking Myths and Misconducts. Our College also organised students’ speeches and their views on this incurable disease. Dr Krishna Daiya gave a talk too and conducted group discussion. The Principal, Dr Hemal Vyas Madam, at last gave a speech regarding general health awareness. The vote of thanks was given by Dr. Hansa Gujariya. The biggest advantage of this awareness programme is noticed in the behaviour of college going students. They become alert about their perception regarding HIV/AIDS and learn how to treat HIV/AIDS patients. This programme was also noted in Sayujya- the Mukhpatra of Saurashtra University Problems encountered & resources required: One problem one can encounter is that girls students are less expressive to this disease and unable to ask the experts candidly.
