Maharashtra Government To Give 10 Sanitary Napkins To Rural Women At Rs 1 Per Month

Maharashtra government launched an initiative on World Menstrual Hygiene Day, May 28, in which women living below poverty line and members of Mahila Bachat Gat (Self-help groups) may purchase 10 sanitary napkins for just Rs 1. It will go into effect on August 15, 2022. The scheme is intended to assist women in rural regions who suffer from poor menstrual hygiene owing to a lack of awareness and accessibility.
