I now have all the content from Park's textbook. Let me compile the comprehensive, well-organized answer.

National AIDS Control Programme (NACP)

Source: Park's Textbook of Preventive & Social Medicine

1. Launch and Background

  • NACP was launched in India in 1987.
  • The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare set up the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) as a separate wing to implement and monitor the programme.
  • Aim: To prevent further transmission of HIV, decrease morbidity and mortality associated with HIV, and minimize the socio-economic impact of HIV infection.

2. Milestones of NACP

Vision: AIDS-free India
Mission: Universal coverage of HIV prevention, testing, treatment to care continuum that is effective, inclusive, equitable, and adapted to population needs
Goal: Zero new infections + Zero AIDS-related deaths + Zero AIDS-related stigma and discrimination

Strategic Framework - Three Epidemiological Contexts:

  1. Mature epidemic - High HIV incidence/prevalence in key/bridge populations; may extend to general population
  2. Emerging epidemic - Relatively new and rising rates in key/bridge populations
  3. Low/Stable epidemic - Still need focus on at-risk populations to maintain low rates

Six Objectives:

  1. Reduce new HIV infections by 80% (from 2010 baseline) by 2024
  2. Ensure 95% of estimated PLHIV know their status by 2024
  3. Ensure 95% PLHIV have ART initiation and retention by 2024 for sustained viral suppression
  4. Eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis by 2020
  5. Eliminate HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination by 2020
  6. Facilitate sustainable NACP service delivery by 2024

Targets by 2024:

  • Estimated new infections reduced from 102,226 (2010) to <21,000/year
  • 2.14 million of 2.25 million PLHIV to know their status
  • 2.03 million PLHIV put on ART
  • 1.93 million PLHIV retained on treatment with HIV viral load <1000 copies/mL
  • <50 new paediatric HIV infections per 100,000 live births; MTCT rate <5%
  • <50 cases of congenital syphilis per 100,000 live births
  • HIV/AIDS perceived as a chronic manageable disease with no stigma
  • Key NACP components funded through 100% domestic funding

  • Original target year: 2020 - later pre-poned to 2018

Focus Districts

  • Launched in 528 high-focus districts to reach more than 2.5 crore unvaccinated or partially vaccinated children

Vaccines Covered (7 + 1)

  3. Tetanus
  4. Polio
  5. Tuberculosis
  6. Measles

  • 3.39 crore children reached
  • 81.79 lakh children immunized
  • 87.18 lakh pregnant women immunized
  • First two phases led to 6.7% increase in full immunization coverage in one year (vs 1% in previous years)
  • Increase more in rural areas (7.9%) vs urban areas (3.1%) → focus shifted towards urban areas

Intensified Mission Indradhanush (IMI)

  • Launched in October 2017
  • 190 districts/urban areas across 24 states identified
  • Focus: urban slum areas and districts with slowest progress
  • Completion of due-list based on head count surveys

In jsy safe abortion scheme and vandematram scheme village health nutrition day and preg tracking and maternal death review is not necessary? If yes only jsy at one place

Now I can see the exact structure clearly. Here's the verdict and the complete answer:

Park's Structure - What Belongs Where

In Park's, the chapter flow is:
JSY (lines 66-132) → ends at line 132
Then immediately after JSY, Park's covers these as separate subheadings under the same RCH-II / Maternal Health chapter:
  • Vandemataram scheme (line 135) - separate heading
  • Safe abortion services (line 140) - separate heading
  • Village Health and Nutrition Day (line 172) - separate heading
  • Maternal death review (line 181) - separate heading
  • Pregnancy tracking (line 186) - separate heading
These are NOT part of JSY. They come after JSY as their own distinct topics under the broader RCH-II maternal health chapter. JSY ends cleanly at line 132.
For a "JSY question" in the exam - you do NOT need to write these. They are separate RCH-II components. However, Vandemataram is often asked alongside JSY in a "safe motherhood" context, and if the question says "maternal health schemes" you'd include them. For a pure JSY question - no.
