XIMB Launches Certificate Programme for HIV Positive People

Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (XIMB) in association with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) today launched a six week fully-residential Certificate Programme in Leadership & Managerial Proficiency (LAMP). The programme consists of four weeks of classroom learning and two weeks of field learning.

The programme is aimed to train HIV positive people to enable them in public speaking to part in policy formulation, advocacy for effective implementation and negotiation with decision makers.

The Governor of Orissa, Rameshwar Thakur today inaugurated the programme at XIMB. Mr. Thakur commended the effort of XIMB and said, "I appreciate the efforts of NACO, UNDP, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, to produce efficient leaders in the society to address the root cause of the disease."

It is anticipated that countries having higher numbers of HIV positive people are unlikely to achieve Millennium Development Goals primarily because of the menace of HIV/AIDS. Mr. Thakur further added, "Recent media reports show rise in the incidences of this disease in the state. The government alone cannot be expected to control this menace, therefore, I welcome every innovative intervention with focus on awareness to prevent spread of HIV in the country as it concerns our economic health and social life."
