The adolescents from the project have formed a support group called So What and have come out with a song by the same name in Marathi. It has now been made into a Hindi music video about their emotions and positive spirit deal with issues.

Dr Vinay Kulkarni and Dr Sanjeevani Kulkarni are the powerhouse behind Prayas. Dr Sanjeevani reveals, “Prayas was established in 1994. The health group works on issues of sexuality and HIV. Various activities are providing comprehensive care to people living with HIV at affordable costs (counselling, medical consultations, anti-retroviral treatment and laboratory services) and community-based intervention programmes (prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV) and more.
