PUNE: The increasing number of HIV/AIDS-infected young population in

the country can finally hope to be better looked after, following

the declaration of the 'Delhi commitment' by major stake holders,

including the Union government and Unicef.

Acknowledging the enormous impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic on

children, the Centre on Wednesday mooted a national alliance and a

plan for children and families, which will establish a comprehensive

framework to develop programmes and interventions for children made

vulnerable by the killer virus.

Represented by the ministries of human resource development

(department of women and child development) and health (National

AIDS control organisation), the commitment was signed after

deliberations with national and international United Nations partner

agencies (Unicef and others).
