Red Ribbon Club

 

Red Ribbon was created in 1991 by the Visual AIDS Artists Caucus, New York City, America. The color of red was then chosen as it symbolizes the color of BLOOD, the idea of PASSION – not only ANGER by LOVE. The Red Ribbon is the international symbol of HIV/AIDS awareness.

Red Ribbon Club is a platform where skill and knowledge building session are conducted for the youth population. The Red Ribbon Club is a voluntary program for students in the institution. It is supported by District AIDS Prevention and Control Unit, Tumkur 572 101.
