He will be joined by the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Dr. Mohan Yadav, who will attend as the Guest of Honour. The event will take place at the Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya Auditorium in Indore.

Madhya Pradesh Takes Center Stage
Madhya Pradesh is set to play a pivotal role in India’s fight against HIV/AIDS. The state will lead the observance of World AIDS Day 2024, aligning with the United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) theme, “Take the Rights Path.” This theme emphasizes the importance of awareness and the need to eliminate discrimination against those affected by HIV/AIDS.
Since 1992, the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) has organized World AIDS Day events annually. These observances bring together communities, youth, and various organizations to collaborate on addressing the challenges of HIV/AIDS. The goal is to end the epidemic by 2030. This year’s event will focus on community engagement and the achievements made through campaign-based approaches.
The event will also feature an innovative exhibition. This exhibition will showcase key programmatic components, including the digital ecosystem adopted by NACO. Attendees can expect to see hand-crafted items made by beneficiaries, highlighting the impact of community involvement in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Engaging Activities and Performances
World AIDS Day 2024 will include a variety of impactful activities designed to engage attendees and raise awareness. One of the highlights will be the launch of NACO’s theme song, performed live by original singers Dev Negi, Moko Koza, and Agsy. This performance aims to encapsulate the spirit of the program and inspire attendees.
In addition to the musical performance, the event will feature inspirational stories from beneficiaries. These stories will showcase the transformative impact of NACO’s initiatives on individuals and communities. Attendees will also have the opportunity to access critical resources aimed at furthering NACO’s mission.
The event will also see the release of several important documents, including the “SANKALAK 6th Edition,” “India HIV Estimates 2023 – Technical Report,” and “Prevention Progress Update 2023-2024.” These documents will provide valuable insights into the current state of HIV/AIDS in India and the progress made in combating the epidemic.
A Collaborative Effort for Change
The World AIDS Day event will bring together a diverse group of stakeholders. Policymakers, government representatives, civil society members, and youth will all participate in this important occasion. The event will be live-streamed nationwide, encouraging widespread participation and uniting efforts to advance equity in healthcare.
Among the distinguished guests will be Shri Rajendra Shukla and Shri Jagdish Devda, Deputy Chief Ministers of Madhya Pradesh, along with other notable figures. Their presence underscores the importance of collective action in addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
This year’s observance aims not only to raise awareness but also to inspire collective action against the challenges posed by HIV/AIDS. By fostering collaboration among various stakeholders, the event seeks to create a more equitable healthcare landscape for all.
In conclusion, World AIDS Day 2024 in Madhya Pradesh promises to be a significant event. It will highlight the ongoing efforts to combat HIV/AIDS and promote the rights of those affected by the virus.
