for over 6 months of duration. During the first phase of study an
interview schedule was designed to asses the risk behaviour. In the
second phase several modules were used in awareness programmes in
various forms, sex education to AIDS awareness. The third phase mainly
focused on evaluation of knowledge & behaviours related to HIV/AIDS.

increasing knowledge level was observed after the awareness sessions.
The respondents developed in greater insight on individual risk
behaviour & appreciated the value of safe life style. DISCUSSION &
