VK Classic Utilities: Where Empowerment Meets Excellence!

The demand to exclude sanitary napkin from the GST has been going on for a long time.

Conceding a year-long demand, the GST Council on Saturday decided to exempt sanitary napkins from the ambit of the Goods and Services Tax. “Sanitary napkins will be exempted from Goods & Services Tax,” said Finance Minister Piyush Goyal while addressing a press conference in Delhi following the 28th meeting of GST Council.

The demand to exclude sanitary napkin from the GST has been going on for a long time. To drive the point home, a group of students from Gwalior launched a campaign in January this year. The students sent sanitary napkins with the message written on them to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and urged him to exempt the taxes levied on the product and make it free of cost.

Apart from sanitary napkins, the GST Council also declared stone/marble/wood idols, rakhis, sal leaves, phulbhari jhadu to be exempted from GST. There will also be a rate cute from 28 per cent to 18 per cent on items such as lithium-ion batteries, vacuum cleaners, domestic electrical appliances, paints and varnishes, water coolers, articles such as scents, perfumes, cosmetics. The GST rate cuts announced today will be effective from July 27.

Talking about tax returns, Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia said the GST Council also approved the quarterly returns for traders having turnover up to Rs 5 crore. He said that many items under the 28 per cent slab have been removed, ANI reported. “I think the 28 per cent tax slab should be done away with. The issue is being unnecessarily dragged,” said Sisodia, who also handles the Finance portfolio as well.

What is the current population of India in 2023?

The current population of India is 1,419,014,986 as of Sunday, May 21, 2023, (one billion, four hundred twenty-eight million, six hundred twenty-seven thousand, six hundred sixty-three based on Worldometer elaboration of the latest United Nations data.

In India, less than 20% of approximately 400 million menstruating women use sanitary pads. In urban areas, this number is only around 52%. This indicates that nearly half of urban-based women resort to unhygienic methods for menstrual protection, making them vulnerable to health-related issues.Also Many Womens Are Not Well Known Or not Educated About Menstrual Hygiene....

Now Let We want to explore Who Invented Sanitary Pads In India and Why is considered a revolutionary inventor?

Arunachalam Muruganantham, a trailblazing social entrepreneur from India, has emerged as a transformative figure in the realm of menstrual hygiene. His remarkable journey has sparked a movement that is challenging societal norms and empowering women across the country. From the congested Kotla Mubarakpur village in South Delhi to the posh Defence Colony, and even reaching as far as Sultanpur in eastern India, individuals like Shanti, Dr. Deepali Bhardwaj, Vikram Masih, and Pratibha Singh have become evangelists for Muruganantham's cause.

Their mission is not to convert people to a new religion but to raise awareness about menstrual hygiene, a topic that was once considered taboo and seldom discussed. The conversations they initiate are taking place in every corner of India, transcending geographical boundaries and cultural barriers.

It is Arunachalam Muruganantham who deserves much of the credit for this profound change. His determination to create affordable sanitary pads for Indian women has not only succeeded but has also become his life's mission. While achieving his ultimate goal of ensuring every Indian woman has access to sanitary pads may take time, he has already made significant progress, transforming the lives of thousands of women in the process.

The genesis of Muruganantham's mission can be traced back to 1998 when he discovered that his wife was using unsanitary rags during her menstrual cycle due to the high cost of commercial sanitary pads. This revelation inspired him to embark on a journey to create a low-cost alternative. However, his unconventional approach and obsession with women's menstrual hygiene made him the target of ridicule and rejection. Undeterred, he sold his possessions, borrowed money, and even worked part-time to fund his pursuit.

In 2005, after years of relentless experimentation and innovation, Muruganantham succeeded in creating a low-cost sanitary pad. His invention gained international recognition, and he earned the moniker "Padman" after a film starring Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar depicted his inspiring story.

The customised sanitary pad-making machine developed by Muruganantham is the first of its kind in the world. It is designed to be user-friendly, even for those with limited education. The machine de-fibrates wood fiber into cotton, shapes it in a mold, and sterilizes the pads using ultraviolet light. The production capacity of a single unit is an impressive 1,500 pads per day.

To make his innovation accessible, Muruganantham's company, Jayaashree Industries, has supplied these machines to various states and union territories across India. The machines have a lifespan of 20-25 years and have been exported to 27 countries, including developed nations like the United States and Germany.

One of the most significant endorsements of Muruganantham's work comes from Dr. Deepali Bhardwaj, a dermatologist who affirms that the sanitary pads produced using his equipment are of the highest quality. Dr. Bhardwaj herself uses these pads and recommends them to her patients, emphasizing their natural materials and absence of irritating chemicals.

Despite his worldwide recognition and tempting commercial opportunities, Muruganantham remains committed to his social entrepreneurship principles. Rather than monopolizing the production and distribution of low-cost pads, he has focused on grassroots empowerment. His strategy involves selling the pad-making machines to women's self-help groups and NGOs, creating an estimated 115,000 livelihoods in the process.

Organizations like Kshitij Educational and Rural Development in Sultanpur have leveraged Muruganantham's invention to uplift women from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. These women, equipped with the pad-making machines, not only earn a sustainable income but also become advocates for menstrual hygiene in their communities.

The

impact of Muruganantham's work extends beyond India. Indian Army jawans in Ladakh, prisoners in Tihar Jail, and even students at Lotus Valley School in Noida have taken up the cause, making sanitary pads and distributing them to women in need.

Muruganantham's personal journey has come full circle. Despite initially facing rejection from his family and village, he has since reconciled with them. Today, he and his wife, Shanti, are proud parents to a daughter named Preetisri. The story of his resilience and success is now included in Class 12 textbooks in Tamil Nadu.

Muruganantham's impact is undeniable. He has empowered hundreds of thousands of women, enabling them to lead healthier, more productive lives. His efforts have not only provided access to menstrual hygiene products but also facilitated education and employment opportunities for women across India. Furthermore, by breaking the taboos surrounding menstruation, he has sparked conversations that were once unthinkable, even among educated individuals.

Arunachalam Muruganantham's unwavering dedication to menstrual hygiene has rightfully earned him recognition as a true icon and a changemaker. His legacy will continue to inspire others, leaving an indelible mark on the fight for women's rights and empowerment around the world.

Over 44% of women aged 15-24 years in Karnataka continue to use cloth for menstrual protection, according to the recently released NFHS-5 report. This is the highest among southern States followed by Kerala and Andhra Pradesh, at 40.2% and 36.2% respectively.

In terms of overall use of a hygienic method of menstrual protection, Karnataka ranks the lowest among southern States at 84.6%. Locally prepared napkins, sanitary napkins, tampons and menstrual cups are considered to be hygienic methods of protection in the survey.

While 69.1% use sanitary napkins, 2.9% use tampons and 0.3% menstrual cups, 21.9% use locally prepared napkins in Karnataka.

In Puducherry, 99.1% of women aged 15-24 years use a hygienic method of protection. Puducherry is followed by Andaman (98.8%) and Nicobar Islands (98.4%). The lowest percentage of women using a hygienic method of menstrual protection is recorded in Bihar (59%), Madhya Pradesh (61%), and Meghalaya (65%)

Overall, although 77.6% of women use a hygienic method of protection in India, 49.6% continue to use cloth. While 64.4% use sanitary napkins, 15% use locally prepared napkins; 1.7% use tampons and 0.3% use menstrual cups in India.

While Uttar Pradesh (69.4%) and Assam (69.1%) have the highest percentage of women who continue to use cloth, Andaman and Nicobar Islands (8.2%) and Tamil Nadu have the lowest (12.7%).

Impact of schooling

The survey found that women with 12 or more years of schooling are more than twice as likely to be using a hygienic method as compared to women with no schooling (90% versus 44%).

“Women in the highest wealth quintile are almost twice as likely to use a hygienic method as women in the lowest wealth quintile (95% versus 54%). Compared to the 90% of urban women who use a hygienic method of menstrual protection, only 73% in rural areas use a hygienic method,” according to the report.

Consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist Hema Divakar said menstrual hygiene is not considered a priority in India. “Attempts at educating and empowering school girls will bring about a significant change in the next decade where we can expect a larger percentage to shift to sanitary pads, or better still, menstrual cups. Whilst the distribution of free or low-cost pads by the health mission encourages the use of sanitary pads in general, we should also be paying equal or even more attention to the disposal of used sanitary pads, which adds to environmental pollution,” said Dr. Divakar, who heads the Well Woman Health Care Committee at International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO).

Manisha Singh, senior consultant (gynaecology) and sub-specialist in reproductive medicine and surgery at Fortis Hospital (Bannerghatta Road), said considering menstrual cups are the way of the future, the government must implement programmes to provide rural women with menstrual cups as well as adequate information on how to use and dispose them.

New Delhi, About 50 per cent of women aged 15-24 years still use cloth for menst ..New Delhi, About 50 per cent of women aged 15-24 years still use cloth for menstrual protection, according to the latest National Family Health Survey (NFHS) report, with experts attributing it to lack of awareness and taboo existing around menstruation. The experts also said that if an unclean cloth is reused, it increases exposure to multiple local infections. In the recently released NFHS-5, women aged 15-24 years were asked what method or methods they use for menstrual protection, if anything. In India, 64 per cent use sanitary napkins, 50 per cent use cloth, and 15 per cent use locally prepared napkins, the report stated. Overall, 78 per cent of women in this age group use a hygienic method of menstrual protection. Advt Locally prepared napkins, sanitary napkins, tampons and menstrual cups are considered to be hygienic methods of protection. On exposure to infections due to unhygienic menstrual practices, Dr Astha Dayal of the obstetrics and gynaecology department at the CK Birla Hospital in Gurugram said, "Many studies have shown reproductive tract infections like bacterial vaginosis or urinary tract infections (UTI) could occur which eventually become pelvic infections." "As these infections can travel up to the pelvis, they can cause difficulties in getting pregnant or pregnancy complications like preterm labour (resulting in premature birth)," she said. Besides, poor hygiene can increase cervical cancer risks in the long-run, as one of the risk factors for this cancer is poor local hygiene, Dayal said. The NFHS report also stated that women with 12 or more years of schooling are more than twice as likely to be using a hygienic method as women with no schooling (90 per cent versus 44 per cent). "Women in the highest wealth quintile are almost twice as likely to use a hygienic method as women in the lowest wealth quintile (95 per cent versus 54 per cent). Seventy-three per cent of rural women use a hygienic method of menstrual protection, compared with 90 per cent of urban women," it said. The lowest percentages of women use a hygienic method of menstrual protection in Bihar (59 per cent), Madhya Pradesh (61 per cent) and Meghalaya (65 per cent). Poonam Muttreja, executive director at the Population Foundation of India, said the NFHS-5 shows a direct link between education, wealth and hygienic methods of menstrual protection. While 80 per cent of women with no schooling reported using sanitary pads, only 35.2 percent of women with 12 or more years of schooling use sanitary pads, she said, adding that use of cloth for menstrual protection is higher among women from rural areas (57.2 per cent) compared to those from urban areas (31.5 per cent). Women from the lowest wealth quintile are about 3.3 times more likely to use cloth than women from the highest wealth quintile. Thus, social background often determines access to proper menstrual hygiene, Muttreja said. The taboo around speaking about periods discourages women from accessing them. Improving menstrual hygiene thus requires investment in girls' education, alongside extensive social and behaviour change communication campaigns to change social norms and behaviours, she said. Ranjana Kumari, a social activist and director of the Centre for Social Research, said it is important to understand two aspects of menstruation -- one being the shame associated with menstruation and that girls do not share it with anyone. Referring to the Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushdhi Pariyojna (PMBJP) under which sanitary napkins are made available in Kendras across the country at a minimum price of RS. 1 per pad, she said, "But the most important thing is the government's availability for napkins is for Re 1 so even if you need 12 napkins then you need to ask for Rs 12 from parents and they are shy to inform them." "Also, parents would think it is a useless expense, so there needs to be counselling of the parents also that there is a health requirement for girls. The government is providing Re 1 napkins that have to be hand-in-hand with sensitisation of community and people," Kumari said. The NFHS-5 conducted between 2019-21 has been conducted in around 6.37 lakh sample households from 707 districts of the country from 28 states and eight UTs, covering 7,24,115 women and 1,01,839 men to provide dis-aggregated estimates up to district level. The national report also provides data by socio-economic and other background characteristics; useful for policy formulation and effective programme implementation.
