SYANGJA: In a bid to relieve woes being faced by female students, Fedikhola Rural Municipality has launched a mensuration sanitary management campaign at a school by installing a automatic machine to distribute sanitary pads.
A menstruating student can get a sanitary pad by inserting a ATM card into the machine. As many as 20 pads can be withdrawn at a time which is monitored by a class teacher and the respective monitor.
“A menstruating student can obtain sanitary pads once she switches on the bottom after inserting an ATM card into the machine,” said Ghanashyam Subedi, chief of Fedikhola Rural Municipality.
This is facility is available to the female students from class six to 10. School bears the expenses for the cost of the pads, not the students, said Subedi.
