Navsari DAPCU's Response - June 2012 Theme - Social Benefit Schemes for PLHIV and HRG

The support from the District Administration is good in our district. The DIC , DLN, LAC , ART , ICTC offer good counselling and ensure regular follow up for  for collecting documentation required for schemes like ID Proof etc.

Unique strategy and experience  

1. CDHO, DPO conducts monthly review meeting at District Level to review Total PLHA Vs. no availing Govt. Scheme
2. Regular follow up by ORW, DIC Staff, Ii NGO Staff, ICTC Counselor
3. DPO meets and sensitizes other Govt. Dept. staff
4. DAPCU presents Monthly Data to DDO and Dist. Collector
5. Block Wise Regular Monthly PLHA Meeting at the District and at DIC with TI NGO, ICTC Staff to discuss Govt. Schemes 

Challenges

1. PLHA Migration (out migration) to other States
2. PLHA (in migrants) do not have residence proof & ration cards etc which are required to avail many of the schemes.

This is our status with respect to social benefit schemes
