India is experiencing a period of high
economic growth and rapid social and demographic change.
There is increasing concern about the manner in which this
transformation is impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. While
the Government of India has taken significant measures to
curb the spread of HIV/AIDS, much remains to be done. Given
the complexity of the challenge, an effective response
requires the engagement of all sectors. The private sector,
alongside other stakeholders, can play an important part not
only by contributing to the efforts for HIV/AIDS prevention
and the reduction of stigma and discrimination, but also for
the care, support and treatment of Persons Living with
HIV/AIDS (PLHA). The report presents challenges, good
practices and success stories about how Informational
Technology (IT) companies in India are addressing the issues
of HIV/AIDS. It demonstrates the mounting will and
commitment of IT leaders to respond to the epidemic. The IT
industry in India is young in terms of both its stage of
development and the age of its workforce which averages
18-35 years. Reflecting the composition of the sector, the
report documents the experiences not only of large companies
in India's IT sector, but also of small and medium
enterprises (SMEs). Each company has used different
approaches to address HIV/AIDS among its workforce including
community outreach activities. By capturing these
companies' experiences, the report seeks to foster a
more active response to HIV/AIDS from India's IT
community and to encourage new partnerships to leverage the
goodwill and competencies of this sector. |
