- with targeted interventions (TIs) and scaled up interventions in the general population.
- Provide greater care, support and treatment to a larger number of PLHA.
- Strengthen the infrastructure, systems and human resources in prevention,
- care, support and treatment programmes at district, state and national levels.
- Strengthen the nationwide Strategic Information Management System.
- The specific objective is to reduce the rate of incidence by 60 percent in the first year of the programme in high prevalence states to obtain the reversal of the epidemic, and by 40 percent in the vulnerable states to stabilise the epidemic.
