Red Ribbon Club

Introduction

The Red Ribbon Club is a voluntary on-campus intervention program for students in educational institutions. It is initiated and supported by the State AIDS Control Society (SACS) and implemented through multi-sectored collaborations, particularly using the services of cadre officers of the State’s National Service Scheme (NSS). In Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College, Bhagta Bhai Ka, Red Ribbon Club is formed on Oct. 1, 2016 which aims at:

  • Harnessing the potential of the youth by equipping them with correct information on HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care, Support and Treatment. It also aims in building their capacities as peer educators in spreading messages on positive health behaviour in an enabling environment and increasing voluntary blood donation from among youth.

Objectives

  • To reduce new HIV infection among youth by raising their risk perception through awareness of Sex, Sexuality and HIV & AIDS.
  • To induce among youth the spirit to help and support people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) thereby reducing stigma and discrimination against PLHAs.
  • To motivate youth and build their capacity as peer educators and change agents by developing their skills on leadership, negotiation and team building.
  • To promote voluntary and non-remunerated blood donation among youth.
