About the Red Ribbon Club

A voluntary on-campus intervention programme empowering students through awareness, peer education and the spirit of selfless service.

The Red Ribbon Club is a voluntary on-campus intervention programme for students. The activities organised by the club aim to raise awareness in youth about HIV/AIDS and voluntary blood donation. Supported by the Chandigarh State AIDS Control Society (SACS), RRC also works towards harnessing the potential of the youth by equipping them with correct information on Mental Health, Substance Abuse, Nutrition, and Reproductive and Sexual Health, and building their capacity as peer educators in spreading the message of positive health behaviour in an enabling environment.
Our Mission: Fostering the zeal of volunteerism in youth, the RRC of the College promotes activities which induce in the youth the spirit to reduce stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS.
Various activities and events are frequently organised for students throughout the session — from awareness talks and rallies to quiz contests, video competitions and blood safety programmes.
