• Few challenges faced
It was really difficult to organise the programmes as mentioned above within the stipulated budget i.e. Rs-2500/-. Hence during the preparatory meeting we sought the help of line departments and district level NGO/CBO etc. The TI partners also helped us with both finance and men power. Most importantly, Rotary club, Balasore helped a lot by providing their meeting Hall along with some other contingency support. However with the active support of Dist. Administration the WAD.2013 was observed successfully with wide dissemination of messages on prevention, care, support and treatment of HIV/AIDS.
