Economist C. Rangarajan chaired the Independent Commission on AIDS in Asia (also called the Pan-Asian Commission on HIV/AIDS) set up by UNAIDS to examine the impact of the epidemic across Asian countries; hence the issue addressed was HIV/AIDS in the region. Other options (tourism, free trade, technical education) were never the mandate of this commission.
