The objective of Targeted Intervention Programme is to reduce the rate of transmission among the most vulnerable and marginalized population. One of the ways of controlling the disease from further spread is to carry out direct intervention programmes among these groups through multi-pronged strategies, beginning from behaviour change communication, counseling, providing health care support, treatment for STD, and creating an enabling environment that will facilitate behaviour change.
