 Printed material is our backbone. Our study material is prepared by teams of experts keeping in view
the interest of the learner group. Each Course has a Course Development Committee headed by the Vice-
Chancellor and other distinguished academics and professionals involved in the course preparation. The
course material is written in such a manner that the students can study it by themselves with a little
assistance from our Counsellors at the Study Centres. Further, text books and reference books are
available in the libraries attached to the Study Centres and Regional Centres. Therefore, students do
not require any other guide books for following courses of IGNOU. In fact these may harm them. Hence,
the University strongly advised the students not to take recourse to such type of guides.

Please keep this Programme Guide safely till you complete the Programme. You will need to consult
it throughout the duration of the Programme.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

“The University sends study materials and assignments, wherever prescribed, to the students by
registered post and if a student does not receive the same for any reason whatsoever, the University
shall not be held responsible.”

“In case a student wants to have assignments, he/she can obtain a copy of the same from the Study
Centre or Regional Centre or may download it from the IGNOU website - www.ignou.ac.in”

“The students are specifically instructed to send Examination Forms to concerned Regional Centres only
and to no other place and they are also advised to submit the Registration/Re-registration Forms only
at the respective Regional Centres and nowhere else. If any student sends the Registration/Re-registration
Forms, Examination Forms at wrong places and thereby misses the scheduled date and consequently a
semester/year, he/she will have no claim on the University for regularization.”

for successfully completing a course.

2. GENERAL INFORMATION
Role of Education in Addressing HIV and AIDS issue
HIV and AIDS is not only a biomedical phenomenon but a social reality rooted in human
behaviour. It is a product of human actions in social contexts. The actions and their circumstances
are shaped by larger cultural and social structures. Therefore to have a significant impact on
the epidemic, education interventions must be rigorously designed according to best practices
and adapted to local needs.
In India, the shift from a predominantly agricultural, low subsistence and low consumption
economy and a community based social structure, to an industrially developing nation with
urbanization, migration and break down of rural economies, joint family system and communities,
have seen a shift in social values and world views. The degree and nature of this impact has
been various across different sections. The weakening controls have allowed greater individual
freedom and releasing the stifling controls on young people.
High consumption life-styles have raised aspirations of others and increased the consumption
gap between the top and bottom sections. Along with the increasing value placed on material
consumption, there has also been an increase in perception of sexuality as a commodity to be
‘consumed’ for pleasure. The gap between material aspirations and socio-economic status has
led to distortions such as the spread of promiscuity, corruption, growth of the Mafia, drug
trafficking etc. All these factors have also contributed to the spread of HIV and AIDS in the sub-
continent.
Why We Need a Programme on HIV and Family Education
There is a need for well awared class of people who will break down the various myths and
misconceptions prevailing about HIV and AIDS.
There is no cure for HIV and AIDS at the moment and no vaccine for prevention. The only way to
prevention is education and behavior modification.
There is lot of misconception, misinformation and inaccurate information on the subject of HIV/AIDS.
A carefully planned curriculum will seek to provide accurate, complete and authentic information on
the subject.
There is resistance from parents and teachers on these sensitive topics such as HIV and AIDS and
sex education. We needto create awareness, provide knowledge and skills so that the trainers of
trainees (TOTs) can skillfully handle such topics.

7
What we require today is to manage the illness through indigenously developed prevention
strategies and not relying on materials prepared for people belonging to other social and cultural
settings.
There should be adequate in-put in terms of our traditional, cultural, social, moral and religious
values.
There is stigma attached to the HIV and AIDS disease which forces the infected to hide.
Education with appropriate information will help people to provide better home care and
emotional support.
There is a demand for a formal programme of study on these topics from those who are involved
in work related to HIV/AIDS, substance abuse and family crisis management.
Objectives of this Programme
The programmes of study on ‘HIV and Family Education’ aim to develop in the learners the
knowledge and skills needed for healthy human relationships, effective communication, and
responsible decision-making behaviour that will protect themselves and others from HIV and
STD responsible and optimize health. The goals of these programmes include promoting
behaviours that prevent the transmission of HIV and STD, fostering attitude and behaviour
that will prevent discrimination against those who are infected with HIV and STD and
promoting awareness among them.
It is intended that the candidates completing these programmes of study should be able to:
 Understand the nature of HIV, AIDS and STDs and its transmission.
 Understand the nature and consequences of substance abuse.
 Have accurate and proper information about facts of life.
 Develop appropriate communication skills.
 Make informed decisions about behaviour that safeguard them from HIV and AIDS/STDs
and drug addiction.
 Understand the symptoms of HIV and AIDS/STDs and seek appropriate medical care when
needed.

HIV/AIDS and substance abuse, sensitizing people, initiating teaching, research and extension
programmes etc.
 Develop modules and teaching aids for use at grassroots level.

Suggested Readings
As the schematic pattern suggests, the Units are divided into several sections and sub-sections
for easy reading and comprehension. Each section is indicated distinctly by bold capitals and
each subsection by relatively smaller but bold typeface, so as to make it easier for you to locate
and identify them. For purposes of maintaining uniformity we have employed the same pattern
of presenting the text throughout the Course.
Section ‘X.0’ i.e., Aims and Objectives in each Unit tells you briefly:
 The content presented in the Unit, and
 What we expect you to learn once you complete the Unit.

12
The last section of each Unit is ‘Let Us Sum Up’. For purposes of recapitulation and ready
reference, we summarize the text of the whole Unit in this section.
Study Centres
To provide academic support to the learners, the University has established large number of
study centres throughout the country. These study centres are co-ordinated by the Regional
Centres.
You can avail of the following facilities at IGNOU’s Study Centres:
 Counselling Sessions,
 Library Facilities,
 Audio-Video Programmes, and
 Discuss administrative and academic matters with the Co-ordinator.
Get in touch with the Coordinator of your Study Centre for seeking information and time-table
related to counselling sessions of this programme.
Academic Counselling Sessions
The aim of the academic counselling sessions, conducted at a Study Centre, is to provide you
an opportunity for face-to-face interaction with your Counsellor. During such sessions you can
discuss problems relating to the instructional material and other important matters. This will also
give you an opportunity to meet your peers.
Attending counselling sessions, though not compulsory, is useful in several respects. Direct
interaction with your counsellor and fellow learners will enable you to share views on the subject. The
Counsellors will provide guidance and facilitate comprehension of some of the complex ideas or issues
through lively and fruitful discussions. So please attend them.
The broad schedule of counselling sessions is provided at ANNEXURE-I.
Before you attend the counselling sessions, please go through the course material carefully so that you
are able to identify content-areas requiring clarifications. Please note that a counselling session is
effective only when it provides two way communication rather than one way communication where
the Counsellor does all the talking. Therefore, you may first go through the units and blocks so that
you can seek clarification and clear you doubts from the academic counsellors during the counselling
sessions.
Evaluation
Evaluation will be done on the basis of: (a) continuous assessment of assignments (30 per cent
of total weightage) (b) a term-end written examination (70 per cent of the total weightage).
Evaluation will be done on a five point scale using the letter grades A,B,C,D,E.The notional
correlates of the letter grades and point grade range are given below:

13
Grading System
Letter Grade Qualitative Value Point Grade Equivalent % of numerical marks

A Excellent 5 80% and above

B Very Good 4 60% to 79.9%

C Good 3 50% to 59.9%

D Satisfactory 2 40% to 49.9%

E Unsatisfactory 1 Below 40%

As stated earlier, evaluation in each course has following two components:

Term-end Examination and Continuous Assessment.
A student must score at least ‘D’in the Continuous Assessment as well as the term-end examination.
BUT IN THE OVERALL COMPUTATION HE/SHE MUST HAVE ATLEAST ‘C’ GRADE IN
EACH COURSE, TO QUALIFY FOR A CERTIFICATE. Thus, it is necessary for the student to
score overall at least ‘C’, in each of the six courses of the Diploma programme.

6. INFORMATION REGARDING ASSIGNMENTS

You must have received a set of assignments for CAFE and DAFE along with the set of print
materials sent to you. In case you have not received it, please send your request in prescribed form
to:
Registrar
Material Production&Distribution Division (MPDD)
IGNOU,MaidanGarhi
New Delhi – 110 068
or log on to www.ignou.ac.in
You have to do one assignment for each course. Thus, in the Certificate Programme you will have
to work on four assignments for four courses. All the four of the assignments are ‘Tutor Marked
Assignments’ (TMAs). This means you will have to do one TMA for each course.
For the Diploma in HIV and Family Education, you will have to do one assignments for each
of the six Courses i.e. 6 TMAs. ASSIGNMENTS MUST BE HANDWRITTEN. TYPED
ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT BE EVALUATED.
Are you wondering what we expect from you in these assignments?
Assignments constitute the continuous evaluation component of a course. They can be done in
your home or work place or library or any other place you think has the right environment. You
may consult suitable persons, books, or other sources for the completion of your assignments.
An assignment, therefore, is not like writing an answer book in an examination hall. It is,
however, equally important as grades are assigned to an assignment. As mentioned earlier, the

14
assignments of a course in the Programme of Study on HIV and Family Education carry 30 per cent
weightage. The marks that you get in your assignments will be counted in your final result. Therefore,
you are advised to attempt your assignments seriously.
The main purpose of assignments is to test your comprehension of the learning material you receive
from the university. The information given in the printed course material is normally considered
sufficient for answering the assignments. Please do not worry about the non-availability of extra
reading material for working on the assignments. However, if you have easy access to other books,
you may use them. But the assignments are designed in such a way as to help you concentrate mainly
on printed course material and your personal experience.
Some of the assignments are knowledge based and some are of applied nature. Assignments which
are knowledge based will require you to write essay type answers. For answering applied type of
assignments you should apply the knowledge you have gained by going through a Unit/Block/Course.
In either case, the answers should be your own. You must not reproduce text material
verbatim or copy the information from other sources.
However, you can make use of the material and information you have at your disposal in an innovative
way. Whenever you quote from the text/books/journals, you must give the reference. You can pick
up ideas from whatever sources you may have. However, plan and use them in your own words when
you write the answers to the assignments.
The following norms have to be strictly practised when you work on the assignments:
 The answer should be precise, well documented and relevant to the question.
 Keep the word-limit of the answer in mind. A slight variation in length does not matter. But your
answer should not be too short or too lengthy. Avoid discussing minor issues at great length. By
setting a word-limit for some of the assignments we mean to convey that a reasonably adequate
response can be presented within the suggested word-limit.
 Whenever you receive a set of assignments, check them immediately. If there are some missing
pages, ask for them from:
Registrar
Material Production & Distribution Division (MPDD)
IGNOU, Maidan Garhi
New Delhi-110 068.
or
log on to : ignou.ac.in
 The assignment you have attempted should be complete in all respects. Before submission you
should ensure that you have answered all the questions in assignments. Incomplete answer-sheets
will bring you poor grades.
 You must submit your assignments according to the schedule indicated in the assignments. The
University/ Coordinator of the Study Centre has the right to reject the assignments
received after the due date. You are, therefore, advised to submit the assignments before the
due date. In case you get the assignments and study material late, the assignment responses
should be submitted within one month of the date of receipt of study material and assignment
or within the due date given in this schedule whichever is later.

15
 For your own record, retain a copy of all the answers to assignments which you submit
to the Coordinator of your Study Centre. If you do not get back the evaluated tutor marked
assignments within a month of their submission, please try to get them from your study centre
personally. This may help you to improve the answers to your future assignments.
 Maintain an account of all the corrected responses to assignments received by you after
evaluation. This will help you to correspond with the University in case any problem arises
in future.
 If you are unable to submit the assignments or are unable to score the minimum qualifying
grade ‘D’, you have to collect, attempt and submit the assignments meant for the next batch
of students. The request for new assignments in prescribed form may be addressed during
the months of May and June or November and December to:
Registrar
Material Production & Distribution Division (MPDD)
IGNOU, Maidan Garhi
New Delhi-110 068.
or log on to www.ignou.ac.in
In case you find that the score indicated in the assignment sheet of your assignments has not been
correctly reflected in your grade card, you are advised to contact the coordinator of your study
centre with a request to forward correct authenticated award list to the Registrar (SED) IGNOU.
 Once you get the pass grade in an assignment, you cannot re-submit it for improvement of
grade. Assignments are not subject to re-evaluation except for factual errors, if any. The
discrepancy noticed by you in the evaluated assignments should be brought to the notice
of the Coordinator of the Study Centre.
 Do not enclose or express doubts for clarification, if any, alongwith the assignments. Send
requests for seeking clarifications in a separate cover to:
Registrar (SE Division), IGNOU
Maidan Garhi, New Delhi -110 068.
When doing so give your complete enrolment no., name, address, title of the course, and the number
of the unit or the assignment, etc., on the top of your letter.
Specific Instructions for Tutor Marked Assignments (TMAs)
1) Write your Enrolment Number, Name, Full Address, Signature and Date on the top right
hand corner of the first page of your response sheet.
2) Write the Programme Title, Course Code, Course Title, Assignment Code and Name of your
Study Centre on the left hand corner of the first page of your response sheet. Course Code
and Assignment Code may be reproduced from the Assignments.

3) Read the assignments carefully and follow specific instructions, if any, given along with
the assignments.
4) Go through the units on which the assignments are based. Note the points relating to the
question, rearrange those points in a logical order and work out a rough outline of your
answer.While attempting a long answer type question, give adequate attention to the introduction
and the conclusion. In the introduction you should give your brief interpretation of the question
and how you propose to develop the answer. The conclusion should summarise your response
to the question. Make sure that the answer is logical and coherent. The answer should be divided
into appropriate paragraphs. The answer should be relevant to the question given in the assignment.
Make sure that you have attempted all the main points of the question. Once you are satisfied
with your answer, write down the final version neatly and underline the points you wish to
emphasise.
5) Use only foolscap size paper for your response and tie all the pages carefully.Avoid using
thin paper. Allow a 4cm margin on the left side and at least a few lines in between each answer.
This may facilitate the evaluator to write useful comments on the margin at appropriate places.
6) Write the responses to assignments in your hand writing. Typed assignments are not
acceptable and shall be returned.
7) Do not copy from the response sheets of other students. If copying is noticed, the assignments
of such students will be rejected.
8) Answers to each assignment should bewritten on a separate set of papers.
9) Write the question number and the question before writingthe answer.
10) The completed assignment should be sent only to the Coordinator of the Study Centre
allotted to you. Do not send assignments directly to the school.
11) After submitting the assignment at the Study Centre, get the acknowledgement from the
Coordinator on the prescribed assignment remittance-cum-acknowledgement card.

17
12) In case you have requested for a change of Study Centre, you should submit your Tutor
Marked Assignments only to the Study Centre that has been allotted to you by the
University.

students individually. All the important communication will be sent to the Coordinators of the Study
Centres and Regional Directors. The Coordinator would display a copy of such important circulars/
notifications on the notice board of the Study Centre for the benefit of all the students. You are,
therefore, advised to keep in touch with your Coordinator so that you get advance information
about assignments, submission of examination forms, date-sheet, and list of students admitted
to a particular examination, declaration of result etc.
While communicating with the University regarding examination, please clearly write your enrolment
number and complete address. In the absence of such details, we will not be able to attend to your
problem.

a particular course may expire. This is applicable only if one fails to get a passing grade. In such cases,
it is advisable for you to submit an examination form which will not cost you anything except the
postage. Once you receive your results and you find that you have passed in that course, you need
not appear for that course again.

8. PREPARATION FOR EXAMINATION

We understand that adult learners will have many domestic and social commitments demanding their
attention. Butit is possible to find some time for your study. Convince your colleagues and family
members that you need some privacy to study and adhere to the regular timetable. As soon as you
receive the study materials, start working on them. Do not postpone studying the materials orwriting
your assignment-responses.
Printed material will be the primary form of instructional material, although there will be a few audio-
video programmes and counselling sessions. Normally, you will have to concentrate mainlyon the
printed material sent to you. Please try to attend as many counselling sessions as possible so
as to get the best outof the programme.
Read the Units carefully and note down the important points.You can use the space in the broad
margin of the printed pages for making notes and writing your comments. Try to answer ‘Check Your
Progress’questions.
Please remember, the answers to these questions are not to be sent to us. The purpose is to
enable you to evaluate your own performance and keep you on the right track. That is why they are
called ‘Self-Check’ questions.They will enhance your comprehension of the subject-matter. If
you are not satisfied with your answers, do not get worried.

9. TERM-END EXAMINATION
There is a term-end examination for the Certificate Programme at the end of six months and
Diploma Programme at the end of one year. Dates and the venue of the examination will be
intimated to you in time by the Registrar (SR&E Division) of the University.
There is one term-end paper for each course. In other words, you will have to appear for four
papers. Each paper is of three hours duration. Each paper carries 70 per cent of the total weightage

20
and the remaining 30 per cent is covered by your assignment-responses. For example, the term-end
examination paper for Course BFE: 101 of 100 marks will have70 per cent weightage in the computation
of Grades. The rest 30 per cent weightage will be given for the assignments of the same course. Final
grading of your performance in each of the four courses is computed along these lines.
Students may appear for one or more courses at a time. Please note that normally examinations in
all the six courses BFE: 101, BFEE: 101, BFE: 102, BFEE: 102, BFEE: 103 and BFEE: 104 will
beheld twice a year – In the month of June and in December. For those appearing for the Diploma,
the first Term-end Examination will be in December.
If you fail to clear all the subjects in the first attempt or do not wish to appear in all the subjects at
a time, you can clear them in the subsequent examinations. You are free to appear for as many courses
as you like at a time.
However, you must clear all the courses within two years of your admission for a certificate
and four years for a Diploma.
To qualify in the continuous assessment (on the basis of assignments) you must take note of the
following points:
i) You are required to attempt one assignments for each course.
The score for successful completion in the continuous evaluation of each course is Grade ‘D’.
If you fail to make this score, (either because you were not able to submit the required minimum
number of assignment-responses or because of not being able to score the minimum average
qualifying grade i.e. ‘D’) then you need to re-submit them as per the schedule for the second
batch of that particular year. For those enrolled for the certificate programme, the assignments
for January-June and July-December batches are same. However, the dates for submission
aredifferent. You may kindly follow the schedule given in the Assignment booklet.
ii) Those enrolled for the DAFE will have to apply for a fresh set of assignments meant for the
following year (In case assignments could not be submitted on time.)It may be noted that the
assignments submission dates for CAFÉ and DAFE are different.
iii) Except as stated under item (ii) above, there is no provision for redoing assignments for
the purpose of just improving upon the grades scored, they can be re-evaluated for the
factual errors.
iv) The lowest successful completion score at the term-end examination is also ‘D’. In case
one fails to make this score, one is eligible to reappear in the next term-end examination
as and when it is held within the total span of four years permitted for the programme. No
extra fee is charged for such reappearance except examination fee.
v) If one fails to score overall ‘C’ in each COURSE (putting the average score on
assignments and the term-end examination together), one has the option to score the
lowest qualifying grade ‘C’ either by appearing at the next term-end examination or
by working on anew set of assignments meant for the particular year. For example:
a) If a student in a particular Course, say BFE : 101 scores a ‘C’ grade for the term end
examination and ‘D’ grade for the Continuous Evaluation, then he/she will be considered
as having passed in that Course.

21
 b) If a student scores a ‘D’ grade for the term-end examination and a ‘D’ grade for the
Continuous Evaluation, then he/she will be considered as failed in that course.
c) If a student scores a‘D’ grade in the term-end examination, he/she will have an option
either to score at least ‘B’ grade in at least two assignments of that course by
submitting fresh assignments (not exceeding two in a course) or may reappear in the
term-end examination to improve the score so as to get overall minimum qualifying ‘C’
grade.
