Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The focus area of the Red Ribbon Express (RRE) campaign was HIV/AIDS. The campaign aimed to generate awareness about HIV/AIDS and spread information regarding primary prevention services. It focused on developing an understanding of the disease, reducing stigma and discrimination against people with AIDS, and enhancing people’s knowledge about preventive measures, health habits, and lifestyle in the context of HIV/AIDS. 

A specially designed train under the RRE campaign covered over 9000 km a year, visited 180 districts or halt stations, and conducted programs in 43,200 villages. It was equipped with educational materials, interactive touch screens, 3-D models, counselling cabins, and doctor’s cabins for providing necessary information and services related to HIV-TB co-infection. The National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO), Nehru Yuva Sangathan (NYKS), UNICEF, and UNAIDS implemented this project in cooperation with Indian Railways.

Answer 2

The passage explains that the Red Ribbon Express (RRE) campaign was focused on generating awareness about HIV/AIDS, specifically regarding primary prevention services, reducing stigma, and enhancing knowledge about the disease and its preventive measures.

The correct answer to the question is (C): HIV/AIDS.

Answer 3

The Red Ribbon Express (RRE) initiative is a health communication campaign primarily focused on generating awareness about HIV/AIDS across India. Its objectives include spreading information regarding primary prevention services, reducing stigma and discrimination against people with AIDS, and enhancing knowledge about preventive health measures, habits, and lifestyles. The initiative was a collaborative effort involving agencies like the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO), Nehru Yuva Sangathan (NYKS), UNICEF, and UNAIDS, supported by Indian Railways.

RRE deployed a specially designed train with educational materials, interactive programs, and medical services targeting these aims. Based on the passage, the correct answer to the question "Which of the following is NOT an objective of the Red Ribbon Express initiative?" is: "To provide an umbrella of health services related to nutrition and care only to youth."

This option is incorrect as RRE's objectives did not explicitly focus solely on youth but targeted a broad demographic to improve overall awareness and education on HIV/AIDS-related issues.

Answer 4

The passage focuses on generating awareness about HIV/AIDS, spreading information on primary prevention services, reducing stigma, and increasing knowledge about preventive measures, health habits, and lifestyles. It does not mention providing health services specifically related to nutrition and care for youth. Thus, this is NOT an objective of the Red Ribbon Express initiative.

The correct answer to the question is (B): To provide an umbrella of health services related to nutrition and care only to youth.

According to the passage, in the context of campaigns and programs aimed at HIV/AIDS, NACO is described as the "National AIDS Control Organisation".

Therefore, the correct full form of "NACO" is: National AIDS Control Organisation

Answer 9

To determine which strategy was NOT included in the RRE campaign, we need to analyze the provided passage. 

The passage describes the components and methods of the RRE campaign, highlighting various activities:

• The campaign utilized educational materials on HIV/AIDS, interactive touch screens, and 3-D models as part of their exhibition train.
• There were counselling cabins and two doctor’s cabins, suggesting the presence of counselling services by doctors.
• The campaign employed IEC (Information, Education, and Communication) activities, such as folk songs and dances, as these were mentioned as part of station events to spread awareness and knowledge.

However, the passage does not mention the use of community radio as part of the RRE campaign strategies. This absence indicates that while community radio can be a valuable tool in awareness campaigns, it was not listed among the discussed methods in the passage for this specific initiative.

Therefore, the correct option, which was NOT included as a strategy of the RRE campaign, is: Use of community radio

Answer 10

According to the passage, the strategies for the Red Ribbon Express (RRE) campaign included the use of educational material on HIV/AIDS, interactive touch screens, 3-D models, counselling services by doctors, and IEC activities such as folk songs and dances. However, community radio is not mentioned as a strategy in the passage.

The correct answer to the question is (C): Use of community radio.
