India. National AIDS Control Organisation

According to the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) India has 5.2 million HIV-positive people and an HIV-prevalence of 0.9 percent of adults - about the same as the global average, or the sero-prevalence in North America, Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

This Policy Framework provides guidance to each ministry for undertaking detailed planning of programme activities in order to scale up interventions. Operational guidelines have been developed to guide such programming and scale up.

These guidelines are for use by the Education Department, State AIDS Control Societies, and NGOs to implement the school AIDS Education Programme.
