Amrutanjan Health Care’s Project Disha is making significant strides in menstrual health awareness across India, impacting 7 lakh girls in 1,800 towns. The initiative, now in its third year, extends to 10 states, covering 900 towns, 400 schools, and 100 Anganwadi centers. The company’s commitment to elevating women’s hygiene includes distributing their sanitary pads, Comfy, offering 80% better absorption than cloth at reasonable prices.
Amrutanjan Health Care Limited Chairman & Managing Director S. Sambhu Prasad stated, “Elevating women’s hygiene transcends societal duty; it stands as a fundamental necessity. Fostering a robust and healthier society hinges on guaranteeing that the women in our communities not only have access to top-tier and affordable hygiene products but also receive comprehensive education on the subject. We acknowledge that the prosperity of our nation is intricately linked to the well-being of its women. Thus, our unwavering commitment is geared towards actively contributing to the realization of this imperative goal.”
In a country where 50% of women aged 15-24 still use cloth for menstrual hygiene, Project Disha addresses affordability and accessibility challenges, aiming to empower women and foster a healthier society.
