Dear FORUM,

I just saw an advertisement in the news paper by DSACS advertising for

a post of counselors, quoting the salary for a qualified counselor as

Rs 6000 ot 10,000.

This prompted me to write about something that I have felt for many

yrs but have never said it.

Dealing with medico social problem like HIV/AIDS, where person to

person contact for BCC or counseling is the most crucial activity, to

produce any impact, least budget is allocated for the salary of

personnel's.

The real agents of change are paid such meager salaries

that no efficient or capable person would like to join the programme.

We must understand that, whether it is an advocacy meeting, a BCC

session or counseling session or a training programme or an event,

Tea/Samosas or Lunch are not going to change the mindset of people.

It is the person, conducting the programme, his intelligence his

communication and convincing skills, that is going to influence the

people and have an impact.

If we want to raise the level of our prevention or care programmes

and to achieve better results it is important that we allocate more

funds for the salary, employ more efficient and able people and make

them more accountable and the outcome ( in reality not only on paper)

will improve many folds.
