Khalsa College for Women

Rotract Club of Khalsa College for Women organised an awareness campaign ‘Swachhta Sakhis’ on menstrual hygiene in which the members of the club sensitised the students about the important issue. Around the world, millions who experience menstrual cycle lack access to safe sanitation. Without this basic resource, it is impossible for them to manage their menstruation in a hygienic way. Keeping this in mind, the Rotract Club in collaboration with Nine Foundation distributed sanitary napkins among students and other female helping staff of the college. Principal Dr Kamaljeet Kaur Grewal appreciated the efforts of the club and thanked Nine Foundation for the courteous initiative. TNS
