Around 500 students participated in the rally which started at the Collectorate and ended at the Government Rajaji Hospital here. Collector M.S. Sangeetha flagged off the rally.

The World AIDS day, which is being observed every year starting from 1988, has focused on creating an awareness among the people of AIDS and educate them not to discriminate against people who have been affected with HIV.
