Jan Aushadhi to sell sanitary napkins for Rs1

New Delhi, August 26

In a massive push for women hygiene, the government will slash the price of sanitary napkins sold from its Jan Aushadhi Kendras to just Re 1 per piece from Rs 2.5 currently. The biodegradable sanitary napkins “Suvidha” will be available at the subsidised price at designated centres from August 27, Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilisers Mansukh Mandaviya said.

The pads are sold in a pack of four which currently cost Rs 10. These from Tuesday will be priced for Rs 4 only, he added. “We are launching oxo-biodegradable sanitary napkins at Re 1 from tomorrow. These napkins will be available at 5,500 kendras,” Mandaviya said. — PTI
