Currently in India there are an estimated 2.1 million people are living with HIV, which includes approximately 2 million adults and 145,000 children.
While the HIV epidemic has stabilized in states where HIV was earlier concentrated in the past few years (Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Manipur, Nagaland and Tamil Nadu), it is rising in certain low prevalence states and districts.
India’s extensive scale-up and coverage of HIV prevention services for key populations at high risk of infection is being globally recognised. Over the last two months, India has witnessed a series of positive developments with regard to the response to AIDS, including:
- Launch of an ambitious National Strategic Plan – or NACP IV – for an estimated USD 2.3 billion, with 63% of financing covered by domestic funds.
- Issuing instructions for immediate adoption of lifelong access to triple antiretroviral treatment for all pregnant women living with HIV (Option B+) with a target of 100% coverage
- Announcing the intent to adopt antiretroviral treatment initiation at a CD4 count of 500 as well as provision of 3rd line treatment
- Introducing the long-standing HIV Bill into Parliament;
- A limited, but nevertheless favourable, response to provide funding for generic drugs for the elimination of new HIV infections among children in Africa.

‘NOAH’ releases its stirring new motion poster- Growth
Mumbai, 7th March, 2014: The new motion poster of the Russell Crowe starrer, ‘Noah’, is a blaze of events that spring forth before ‘Noah’s eyes. The motion poster has been released on YouTube and can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx-ZZKIRxm0
Titled ‘Growth’, the video shows a drop of water falling on a ground of gravel, giving birth, miraculously, to a beautiful flower. ‘Growth’ is a yet another thrilling motion poster from Darren Aronofsky’s epic ‘Noah’. The first motion poster can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4goI5ptnyA.
The film features Noah having visions of an apocalyptic deluge, taking measures to protect his family and saving the innocent animals from the coming flood. In a world ravaged by human sin, Noah is given a divine mission: to build an Ark to save god’s creation from the devastating flood. Noah and his family build a massive ark, large enough to give shelter to two of every type of animal, who, when the time is right, appear at the foot of the great ship to board. What follows is a battle for Noah’s Ark, so that the storm can be survived. Noah emerges victorious, and the huge flood washes all away. The Ark with its animals and Noah’s family remain.
Directed and produced by Darren Aronofsky, the film stars Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Anthony Hopkins, Emma Watson, Ray Winstone and Logan Lerman. ‘Noah’ is presented by Paramount Pictures and is slated for release on 28th March.
The film will be released by Viacom18 Motion Pictures in India.

kti Marshalls. The Me Mukti Marshalls is a team of 13 well-trained women who will there to ensure safety for women passengers travelling on the Western Railway Trains between 9:30 pm and 12:30 am. Below are more details for information. Attached herewith are the details in Marathi and Hindi for reference and photos.
MORE DETAILS FOR INFORMATION:
Starting March 8, this Women’s Day, you will never reach out to the red-and-brown clad Me Mukti Marshal who’ll help you fend off miscreants.
The Me Mukti Marshal is your new friend-on-the-train who promises to be a strong companion until you alight. The team of 13 well trained women will travel on the Western Railway trains between 9.30 pm and 12.30 am between Andheri and Borivali and Mumbai Central and Churchgate to ensure you’re never alone. The women, trained in self defense, will be armed with a baton and pepper spray to protect you from trouble.
A unique initiative by the Mukti Foundation, the Me Mukti Marshals understand your need for a companion on the local trains. The Mumbai local railway, once the city’s safe travel lifeline, has witnessed a steady rise in crimes against women. Statistics by the Mumbai Government Railway Police for 2013 state that there’s been a 80 per cent increase in cases of sexual harassment of women in the trains. Can we forget how a man got in to the ladies compartment of a western line local train and attempted to rape a nurse who was travelling alone in the unguarded coach last July? Or the case of a foreign tourist who was attacked on a train by a robber? Last year, data shows that there were 76 cases of crimes against women, including rape, molestation and kidnapping, registered between January 1 and November 30.
The Me Mukti Marshals will only assist the Railway Police in their fight against crimes. With a baton and pepper spray, she will only deter an attacker before helping the victim take the miscreant to the police authorities.

“I strongly believe that a woman is the backbone of any society. On Women’s Day, I want to convey that we all have the courage and power to ensure solutions to all the issues we face in our daily lives. I am privileged to play a track of a string character like Gunjan who takes the vital step to bust the blackmailer’s racket. I have always stood for women’s rights and various other important issues. On this day, I encourage every woman to stand up against any injustice to them and make their presence felt in society! Let’s live this life as a woman to the fullest and Happy Women’s Day!”
Neha Marda (Urmi of Doli Armanno Ki, Zee TV)
Description: Description: Pic Neha Marda
“I think that to be a woman is a privilege. This Women’s Day, I would like to say that we have to stand up against the negative elements of society. Currently, in my show we have been tackling the issue of eve-teasing and ‘Power of 49’ to highlight the fact that we need to change the mindset of society and educate and empower women to exercise their right to vote and have a responsible government at the helm. While playing the character of Urmi, I realized the atrocities that you can be subjected to if your husband is not supportive. It is such a misfortune. Urmi is seen retaliating to get her rights as a wife and I would like to really motivate every woman who is facing domestic issues to sensibly handle the issue. Let’s pledge to stand up for your right! Happy Women’s Day!”
Surbhi Jyoti (Zoya in Qubool Hai, Zee TV)
“Personally, I am a feminist. Let me take this opportunity to ask every woman to come out of their shell and fight for anything that is unjust. This year, I would like to reach out to that special sect of women who are away from their families. In my early days, I stayed away from my family and I know how exactly it feels to stay away from your family as a woman. But, on the other hand, I discovered my strength, my ability to fight for what I want in life. Let me tell you that we can overcome sorrows and life has many bright things to offer us. Also, as Zoya has been persistent in fighting for herself and staying by the side of truth, her character has inspired me to be like her. This Women’s Day let’s resolve to reach our dreams, be independent and live life to the fullest! Happy Women’s Day!”
Shilpa Shirodkar (Kamla Bai, Ek Mutthi Aasman, Zee TV)
Description: Description: http://static.screenindia.com/t-images/T_Id_416362_Shilpa_.jpg
“I want to take this special occasion to wish all the maids who work for us and all the helping hands of every household and working woman. On the personal front, I have come back to acting after a hiatus and trust me, it is an effort to balance the two worlds. I bow down to the working women who are persistent to establish their individual identity and at the same time play the role of a homemaker. I want to extend my heartiest wishes to all the women who work as household helps. It is unfortunate that due recognition does not come for this section of society. I take this day to tell all women who work as maids that it’s a big service you render to make others’ homes. May you all get more strength, power, peace and progress in your lives. I am pleased to play a Kamla bai in Ek Mutthi Aasman, it reveals a lot about the hectic schedules, work pressures and atrocities of some ‘malkins’. But let me assure you that we are cherished, valued and respected in our small little world that we strive to keep together! Happy Women’s Day! Thank you!”
Paridhi Sharma (Jodha, Jodha Akbar, Zee TV)
Description: Description: Paridhi Sharma (2)
“Women have been the essence of society from time immemorial. As Jodha, my character struggled to take care of the harem for the safety of women. This was the time I realize that innate virtues like care, compassion and love are the real identity of a woman. In real life too, I notice these qualities in abundance- be it my mother, women of my family or on the sets. Women’s Day is the day to think about ourselves. Women in the family are always busy taking care of the family members and such amount of love is not to be found anywhere. I wish everyone a very Happy Women’s Day!

“I suggest that every year on this day we should add one quality that we would like to blossom in ourselves. My reel life role of Bhavna is of a woman who binds her family together. I related to my character completely as I am a person for whom family comes foremost. I feel that this day is for society to shower their love back on us and we should simply rejoice in receiving it from every corner of the world. Also, let’s resolve to stand up against the wrong doings in society and do our bit to make this world a better place to live for women! Happy Women’s Day to all the beautiful ladies out there!

Will Kohli Brand Trust overtake Dhoni’s?
BTR 2014 reveals some surprising facts
Mumbai. March,06,2014:With a new breed of contenders on the rise in the gentlemen’s sport, cricketer ViratKohli’s trust has seen a dramatic rise vis-à-vis Mahendra Singh Dhoni. A series of losses overseas for team India saw skipper M.S.Dhoni’s popularity taking a dip on the internet while ViratKohli’s fan following amplified. Considered by many as a successor to Dhoni, the trust factor Virat Kohli commands today is phenomenal and this has been aptly reflected with supporting facts and figures in the Brand Trust Report 2014. TRA, a Comniscient Group Company, publisher of BTR 2014 places Kohli in the 5th position in the most trusted personalities list. For someone who debuted last year in BTR, it’s been commendable for Kohli to be ranked amongst the top 5 along with legends like Sachin Tendulkar, M.S.Dhoni and Sourav Ganguly.
The Brand Trust Report, India Study, 2014, the fourth in the series, is the result of a primary research based on the proprietary 61-component Trust Matrix. This year’s research was conducted among 2500 consumer-influencers across 16 cities, and generated nearly 5 million datapoints and 20000 brands, making it the most intensive study on Brand Trust across the globe.
N. Chandramouli, CEO, Trust Research Advisory, publishers of The Brand Trust, said, “Trust is extremely dynamic and reflects the sum total of the impression that one’s actions and communications create. An interesting find in the BTR 2014 is that Mahendra Singh Dhoni who has been listed in this report for the last three years, and is placed in the 2nd position this year is likely to face tough competition from Kohli who is steadily inching towards the top due to performance consistency and recently displayed leadership! However, Dhoni’s performance over the years had accrued substantial residual trust for him which will give him time for a comeback.”
Despite a fall in the overall trust rank, Kohli rises from the 6th position in BTR 2013 where he was a new entrant, to the 5th position in BTR 2014.A study by search engine Google also showed that Dhoni’s last minute withdrawal from Asian Cup and Kohli’s century as a captain has impacted the ranking of these cricketers on Google search Trends. While Kohli ended 2013 with more endorsement than Dhoni, a search trend analysis over the past 30 days revealed how online search of Kohli is on the rise leaving Dhoni on the second spot.
About TRA (formerly Trust Research Advisory)
Trust Research Advisory (TRA), a part of the Comniscient Group, is a company dedicated to understanding and simplifying concepts related to Trust. TRA was conceived in 2008 to decipher, analyze and measure Brand Trust, to make it universally understood and easily applied.

Queen has been releasing various interesting making videos, but the one which can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEkEiWdJQLQ, takes the cake. This Making video encapsulates the essence of what went into the making of Queen-the blast that the cast and crew had while shooting the film and the camaraderie they shared.
The video shows the director of Queen, Vikas Bahl, discussing lunch, evening snacks, and the superb chutney, too. For the one gracing the director’s chair, if the evening snacks and the dinner are good, it has been a successful shoot. Another line during the video, said by Vikas, leaves one in splits, when he scolds a crew member for thinking about food, when they are busy working hard, day and night on the sets. He ends by enquiring the cameraman about lunch.
About Queen:
Queen is about a shy, simple girl from Rajauri, who has been dumped at the altar by her fiancé. However, she decides to go on her honeymoon, all alone. The movie is about her meeting new friends in an entirely new place, and having the time of her life. Presented by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, ‘Queen’ is a Phantom Production. The Kangana Ranaut starrer is directed by Vikas Bahl, and produced by Viacom18 Motion Pictures, Vikramaditya Motwane & Anurag Kashyap. Queen is scheduled for release on March 7th, 2014.
