Sanitary Pads Unlocked: Bihar Girls' Education Boosted

The Netarhat Old Boys' Association's Global Social Responsibility (NOBA GSR) has launched the Sangini Project to significantly improve menstrual hygiene among school-going girls in rural and semi-urban areas of Bihar and Jharkhand. This initiative has already positively impacted over 2 lakh girls, addressing the critical issue of menstrual hygiene which often hinders education.

Ranjan, Co-founder of NOBA GSR, highlighted that menstrual hygiene remains a significant challenge due to stigma, lack of awareness, and limited access to sanitary products. The Sangini Project tackles this by installing sanitary pad vending machines and eco-friendly incinerators in schools, complemented by awareness sessions. This approach ensures girls have access to necessary facilities and promotes dignity.
