Recognizing the importance of menstrual hygiene management, the Uttarakhand government's Department of Women Empowerment and Child Development introduced the "Sanitary Napkin Scheme," a social security initiative focused on adolescent girls and women. This program tackles the issue of period poverty by making sanitary napkins readily available at a subsidized cost. By ensuring affordability, the scheme empowers girls and women to manage their menstrual cycles hygienically and confidently.
