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. These napkins will be available at 5,500 kendras,” Mandaviya said.
With a reduction of prices by 60 percent, he said, the government has fulfilled the promise made by the BJP in its manifesto for 2019 general elections.
