India has an estimated 20.9 lakh people living with HIV. However, nearly 30 -35 percent of these do not know there HIV status. After a person gets infected with HIV, there is a long asymptomatic period of 5-8 years when infected person may not have any symptoms till his immunity goes down significantly and he start getting different opportunistic infection like TB, diarrhoea, fungal infection etc. Hence most of the HIV infected persons present to health system in late stage when immunity is very low and their response to treatment may not be optimal. Also during this long asymptomatic period of 5-8 years, though they are infected but may not be aware of HIV status and are capable of spreading the infection their spouse or others if they continue to indulge unprotected sex.

Early detection of PLHIV is beneficial for patient himself as he can receive timely appropriate treatment including ART as well as for the community to stop further transmission of HIV.

We invite suggestion from community/ NGO/ CBO/ Civil society and public at large their views/ ideas on How to facilitate early detection of People Living with HIV (PLHIV) and put them on ART as soon as possible.

Last date for sending your suggestions is 26th November, 2014.

Reservation(SC/ST/OBC): Dear sir, i observed that the reservation policy is not good in Job, promotion and Education Field. i agree in women's reservation policy. For better INDIA, remove the reservation policy in education first. if this is not possible than reduce the percentage of reservation policy.

I feel every state in India should have at least one Ayurveda University linked with hospital. Also every MP and MLA adopted village should have a Ayurveda Health Care center. Ayurveda Universities should have global learning and research centers. Local-national-global inputs in traditional healthcare ways for holistic treatments; including yoga and natural healthcare.

Mumbai Suburban - Issuance of driving license - Current way of license issuance has a lot of room for corruption and for issuance of license to someone who doesn't even know how to drive. A suggestion to tackle this is to assign only a specific number of slots during the day for every activity (license issuance, CNG verification etc) with minimum time allotted for each participant e.g. 30 min per participant for driving license. The examiner should be sitting with the student during the test and

Mumbai Suburban - The traffic police should be mandated to be standing at the traffic intersection and control the traffic.... However basic it may sound, currently you find them standing far away from the intersection in a corner waiting for people to break the traffic rule and then catch them... This will help in better traffic management in the city. Hope this post is looked at and implemented.

Corporate Loan restructuring - This provision is a discriminatory against the common man taking loan as individuals from the bank and should be done away with. Corporates who default on their loans should be penalized and not given a golden leaf of restructuring. If this is done for the corporates then the same provision should be made available to the common man as well. However, this will be detrimental for the economy as a whole. Hence the provision of loan restructuring should be done away.

MAN KI BAT. Charity begins from home! We commit minor indulgences, speaking abusive words, drinking, smoking, etc.; away from parent’s presence and eyes. We do not mind committing the same in front of our children. In large number of cases parents are role models for children and public personalities take secondary place. If, we adults take care of this aspect in our behavior at home, a substantial improvement can be expected in children taking these recourse. Thank you.
