Government
Taking note of the rise in HIV/AIDS cases in the country, in 1986, the Government of India established a National AIDS Control Program under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Program activities covered surveillance, screening of blood and blood products and health education.
The National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) was created in 1992 in association with the World Bank in an attempt to coordinate an enhanced program of preventive activities. The Organization played a key role in providing national leadership and facilitating the development of State AIDS Societies in all states across India.
The challenge for NACO however, has been to sustain the momentum and keep pace with the rapid growth in the number of infections happening in the country. To this end, the Government has sought increased commitment from states, more effective and efficient partnerships between the public sector and NGOs, donors and the international health community.
The Government also announced the National AIDS Policy and National Blood Policy after a series of consultations with various stakeholders (NGOs, donors, people living with HIV/AIDS, civil society, and other partners). These policies provide the necessary framework for strengthening national and state level response.
India's plan focuses first and foremost on prevention. Its operational objective is:

• To contain HIV prevalence at 3% in states with a generalized epidemic, 2% in those with a concentrated epidemic and 1% in the rest of the country
• Increase awareness to 90% among youth and other vulnerable parts of the population
• Provide anti retroviral therapy (ARV) to HIV +ve new parents, infected children under age 15 and patients coming in to government hospitals in high-risk states

Donors
India receives a lot of technical assistance and funding from a variety of UN partners and bilateral donors. Amongst these is the Gates Foundation which has committed US$100 million over 10 years to strengthen HIV preventions amongst mobile populations. It has devoted most of its resources to focused intervention in the six states with high HIV prevalence as well as along national highways in an effort to reduce HIV transmission among high-risk groups especially sex workers, their clients, and injecting drug users (IDUs); and to slow the spread of the epidemic into the general population.
These interventions are supplemented by advocacy, public education, and capacity-building.

NGOs
More than 600 NGOs are implementing various HIV/AIDS prevention and care activities specifically targeted at high-risk groups through activities funded by the Government and other donor partners.

Corporate
Nearly 90% of HIV/AIDS infections in India have been reported from the 15-49 age group: the most economically productive segment of society. HIV/AIDS has an intense negative impact on the workforce, business, individual workers and their families, as well as the economy at a macro level.
The business community has been using its personal and organizational skills, as well as local influences to reinforce the government and private efforts in the areas where businesses are located. Some of the businesses involved in Workplace Education are Tata, Godrej Industries, Colgate and CII.
