The organization's goal is to reduce HIV/AIDS incidence among high-risk behaviours in Gorakhpur. Objectives include reaching 100% of FSW, MSM, and TG populations with services, promoting behaviour change through BCC, improving condom access, and providing quality STI care.
To achieve these objectives, Srishti Seva Sansthan will implement various strategies, including outreach coverage, community mobilization, BCC, advocacy, networking, and linkages.
