The Darjeeling Hills Population dynamics and institutional response, this book shows that there is lack of sufficient awareness regarding HIV/AIDS among the people of the Darjeeling Hills, and on safety measures specially condom use among the people is very rare. On the institutional fromt, the only Vountary, Confidential, Counselling and Testing Centre (VCCTC) is not able to reach all the people of the Hills. Along with it, a lack of collaboration among the Non Governmental Organisations (NGO) working on HIV-AIDS in the Darjeeling Hills has resulted Ill-bread health structure which is not sufficent to adress the issue among the Hill Population. This book vividly portrays the realities in the Hills that are often hidden, ignored, neglected or unaccustomed to socio-cultural milieu of the Hills.
