The Union Education Ministry replied in Lok Sabha over the question of getting menstrual leave for students at educational institutions. On February 6, Union Education Minister Subhas Sarkar said, "No such proposal is under consideration in the ministry." The reply was in view of the Kerala Government's announcement that it would grant menstrual leaves to females. However, the Union Ministry asked the concerned authority to ensure menstrual awareness.
