Gujarat govt to provide sanitary napkins for ₹1
The Gujarat government on Wednesday announced to provide a pack of six sanitary napkins at the token rate of ₹1 to all girls between the ages of 10 and 19. The 'Taruni Suvidha Programme' is likely to benefit around 40 lakh girls from Gujarat. Notably, Gujarat had, in its budget for 2016-17, granted 100% tax exemption to sanitary napkins.
