The Red Ribbon Club is a voluntary on-campus intervention programme for students in educational institutions. It is initiated and supported by the State AIDS Control Society and implemented through multi-sectoral collaboration, particularly, using the services of cadre officers of the state's National Service Scheme (NSS). The programme will address the knowledge, attitude and behaviour of the youths in the interrelated areas of voluntary blood donation, HIV & AIDS and sexuality, as demanded by their age, environment and life style. The Red Ribbon Club will serve as a complementary and comprehensive prevention intervention to support and reinforce similar youth led initiatives. This Cell was introduced and launched in the College on the 27th July 2024.
The RRC aims at harnessing the potential of the youth by equipping them with correct information on HIV/AIDS prevention, care and support, and treatment. It also aims at building their capacities as peer educators in spreading messages on positive health behaviour in an enabling environment and increasing voluntary blood donation from among the youth.

✔ To motivate youth and build their capacity as peer educators and change agents by developing their skills on leadership, negotiation, and team building.
✔ To promote voluntary blood donation among youth.
