DAPCU Jalpaiguri Response to Role of DAPCUs to Support TI

The role of DAPCUs to support TI-NGOs is very important because DAPCUs are working with TI-NGOs at ground level to support in the betterment of their performance with the goal of reduction in the rate of HIV Positivity in the HRGs & Migrants. TI-NGOs work on different HRG Groups with the predefined targets of registration & contact. DAPCUs monitor their performance periodically with respect to targets achieved by them, gaps between targets and their achievements, reasons for gaps and hindrances faced by them during their efforts. At present, all the works related HIV-AIDS at the district level in West Bengal are being looked after by DAPCUs. TI-NGOs are being supported by us to reach their targets through various manners such that pointing out the gaps between their (TI-NGOs) targets & achievements and giving suggestions to them concerning how to fill those gaps. Truckers Project in our district has been facilitated by providing HIV-Testing facility through Mobile ICTC Vans.
