RRE was a nationwide communication campaign for generating awareness about HIV/AIDS. The aim of the campaign was to spread information regarding primary prevention services, develop an understanding of the disease, reduce stigma and discrimination against people with AIDS and enhance people’s knowledge about the preventive measures, health habits, and lifestyle.
A specially designed train traversed over 9000 km a year covering 180 districts/halt stations, and held programmes and activities in 43,200 villages. It comprised seven coaches, equipped with educational material, interactive touch screens and 3-D models, services in the context of HIV-TB co-infection, an LCD projector and platform for folk performances, counselling cabins and two doctor’s cabins for providing counselling and treatment. RRE started its journey from Kanyakumari, followed the ’parikrama’ style and halted at 180 stations and covered almost all the states of India. During the halt at each station, performing artists including orators and performers went to different villages to undertake information communication activities such as street plays, folk songs, stories, and group counselling sessions.
