Within a month, the Maharashtra government would implement a programme to offer discounted sanitary products to schoolgirls and members of self-help organisations (SHGs), Rural Development Minister Girish Mahajan told the assembly on Friday.

During the question hour, Mahajan responded to Namita Mundada of the Bharatiya Janata Party by saying that the administration is thinking of setting the cost of a packet of sanitary napkins for female students at Rs 1.

Mundada urged the government to reinstate the Asmita initiative, which provided a packet of 8 menstrual pads for Rs 5 to rural female students. The programme ended in 2022, according to Mundada.
