India's Maharashtra state has banned the introduction of sex education in schools after protests from legislators who say it will corrupt young minds.
The move is being seen as a setback to central government efforts to introduce sex education in schools countrywide.
Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh states recently announced similar decisions.
India has the highest number of Aids patients in the world. However sex is still a taboo subject in many parts of the country.
The Maharashtra government also said it will not be introducing sex education books as part of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) syllabus.
