Government on Tuesday slashed price of sanitary napkins sold from its Jan Aushadhi Kendras to just Re 1 per piece from Rs 2.50 earlier.
The biodegradable sanitary napkin ‘Suvidha’ sold in a pack of four are available at the subsidised price in designated centres across the country. “I think that this is one of the greatest achievements that has been done by the Prime Minister Modi for the poor people across the country,” Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers D V Sadananda Gowda said
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, PM Narendra Modi had assured that within 100 days poor women of the country will be provided sanitary napkins at Re 1. Now, that has become a reality, he added. In similar vein, Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilizers Mansukh Mandaviya said the government has today launched oxo-biodegradable sanitary napkins at Re 1. These napkins under the brand name Suvidha will be available at 5,500 Jan Aushadhi Kendras across the country..
