On the other hand, the average cost per sex worker provided services by the first batch programmes in 2002 2003 was INR 428 (US$8.855), which would have likely remained stable up to 2004 2005 as these programmes had a stable average scale of about 3500 per year over this period.
If the equation in Figure 1 for the relation of scale with efficiency were applied, the cost per sex worker served by the second batch programmes in 2004 2005 would have decreased by 21% to INR 576 (US$ 11.90) at the 2002 2003 constant INR/US$.
Accelerometry data were analysed using a batch processing programme (MAHUffe: http://www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/Research/PA/Downloads.html) to remove data recorded after 23:00 and before 6 00.
Since the second batch of programmes were started in places that had on average somewhat fewer sex workers than the first batch of programmes, it is possible that the second batch may not reach the average scale reached by the first batch.
The second batch of programmes, established at places estimated to have the next highest number of sex workers after the places where the first batch was started, has now finished the first four fiscal years over which it has shown an increasing trend so far that has reached an annual average of about 2000 sex workers per programme served in fiscal year 2004 2005.
Three hundred eighty-six (386) students graduated across the first three batches of the PGDPHM programme (four institutes in batch 1; seven institutes in batch 2; nine institutes in batch 3) [ 3].
The first batch of 7 programmes started in early 1999 had reached an average scale of about 3500 sex workers per year per programme by the fourth fiscal year since inception and this was maintained for three fiscal years so far.
The second batch of 8 programmes started in late 2000 showed an increasing trend in scale over the four fiscal years so far since inception, with an average of about 2000 sex workers served per year per programme.
This model-based analysis was run with the software STRUCTURE version 2.3.3 (Pritchard et al. 2000), using a batch-oriented web programme package for construction of super matrices ready for phylogenomic analyses (Kumar et al. 2009).
The fiscal year 1999 2000 was mostly spent in planning and establishing the first batch of sex worker programmes in Andhra Pradesh.
To realise the targets for controlling greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, China has issued three batches of low-carbon pilot programme since 2010.
