XIM, Bhubaneswar Helps to Increase AIDS Awareness with OSACS

Ms. Anita Anasuya of OSACS then facilitated the screening of a film made by the UN's International Labour Organisation (ILO). She also delivered a short speech through which she tried to convey the message of tolerance towards HIV affected people in the workplace.

She also explained how preventing HIV AIDS makes perfect business sense by reducing expenses on labour absenteeism and replacement.

The final speaker of the day was Mr. Prabhu Patel of Shubham, a rehabilitation and counselling centre. He spoke about the evils of addiction and how the number of injecting drug-users (IDU) is increasing. He said that around 10% of IDUs were affected with HIV. He also urged the students to spread the message against alcohol and drug-abuse and said that just one mistake is enough to make a huge and debilitating difference.
