About the Vihaan Programme
India HIV/AIDS Alliance (Alliance India), acting as the Principal Recipient (PR) of the Global Fund Grant, continues to implement Vihaan, a nationwide care and support programme for People Living with HIV (PLHIV).
“Vihaan,” meaning the first light of dawn, aims to ensure holistic care, treatment adherence, and improved quality of life for PLHIV across India.
The programme works closely with:
-
NACO at the national level
-
State AIDS Control Societies (SACS) at the state level
-
ART Centres at district and facility level
Since its launch in 2013, Vihaan has reached over 24 lakh PLHIV through 310 Care and Support Centres (CSCs) across India.
Alliance India has received approval to continue the initiative from April 2024 to March 2027, ensuring uninterrupted CSC operations for PLHIV enrolled at ART centres.
Role of NMP+
Network of Maharashtra by People Living with HIV/AIDS (NMP+) serves as the Sub-Recipient (SR) for Maharashtra and Goa.
NMP+ coordinates with partners, provides technical support to 40 CSCs, and is responsible for collecting applications from NGOs/CBOs interested in becoming Sub-Sub-Recipients (SSR) under the Vihaan programme.
