AbstractNational AIDS Control Programme (NACP) was initiated (1992-93) to control the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), a severe life threatening condition which represents the late clinical stage of infection with Human Immunodeficiency Retro Viruses (HIV). It often results in progressive damage to the immune system and central nervous system. HIV virus is transmitted through sexual contact, sharing contaminated needles and syringes, multiple blood transfusion of infected persons’ blood, transmission from infected mother to child, before, during or after birth. To implement National AIDS Control Programme Phase II (1999-2004), Uttaranchal State AIDS Control Society (UASACS) was registered under the Societies Act, in April 2001 under the chairmanship of the Chief Secretary, Government of Uttaranchal, Dehradun, following the creation of Uttarakhand on 9th November 2000. As part of this performance audit of implementation of the National AIDS Control Programme, records of Project Director (UASACS) Dehradun and three out of 13 districts, having a population of 34.86 lakh out of State’s total population of 84.80 lakh, were test checked in August/ September 2003 covering the period 2001-2003 and an expenditure of Rs. 59.98 lakh out of Rs. 140.09 lakh spent during these years. The performance audit revealed that the Society failed in meeting its objectives due to lack of equipment, shortage of trained staff, irregular procurement of medicines, non participation of non-government organisations, non-existence of facilities viz. blood bank, sexually transmitted disease clinics, Voluntary Counselling and Testing Centres (VCTC), blood testing centers, and failure to generate awareness among the people against HIV/AIDS.
