Welcoming the dignitaries Dr.M.L.Dogra , Chairman , BLSKS explained about the Ideals & the symptoms of the object of the program. HIV spreads through unprotected sexual contact, sharing needles, infected blood, and from an infected mother to her baby during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It does not spread by touching, hugging, sharing food, or casual contact. Early symptoms may include fever, tiredness, sore throat, or weight loss, but sometimes people do not show signs for years.
Today, advanced medicines called antiretroviral therapy can control HIV and help people live long and healthy lives. If taken daily, these medicines reduce the virus so much that it becomes harder to pass it to others. Many countries offer free or low-cost HIV testing and treatment to support public health. Sh Kishori Lal said Prevention is very important. Using protection, avoiding needle sharing, and getting tested regularly help stop the virus. Families, teachers, and communities must spread awareness and avoid treating infected people unfairly. With knowledge, early testing, and proper treatment, the fight against HIV/AIDS becomes stronger every year.

K.K.Joshi, Vice chairman Blsks, said the Bhartiya Lok Sangeet Kala Sansthan presenting more than 200 awareness programs on different themes every year through folk media .The singers, musician and actors who performed were Usha Raina, Zulekha Farid, Chahat Chadha , Rajni Gupta,, Naiya Meenia and students ,teachers, youths & general public were presented.
