Self-help groups in PCMC venture into production of sanitary napkins

In order to address the various issues related to unhygienic menstrual practices prevalent among women living in the slums of Pimpri Chinchwad, self-help groups in the area, backed by the Jijai Foundation, have ventured into manufacturing and selling of economical sanitary napkins. Corporator Seema Salve, who is also the founder president of Jijai Foundation, along with corporators Sharada Babar and Asha Shendge, said that the idea for this move originated from their interactions with the women from the slums.
