HC Seeks Status Of Menstrual Hygiene Schemes
A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Dr. Pushpendra Singh Bhati and Justice Rajnesh Oswal passed the directions while hearing a Public Interest Litigation concerning menstrual hygiene management.
The court has sought information on the implementation of relevant government schemes and the extent to which their intended benefits are reaching adolescent girls at the ground level.
The proceedings form part of the court's continuing examination of menstrual hygiene, access to sanitary products, awareness programmes and sanitation facilities in educational institutions.
The case dates back to a suo motu PIL in which the court had called for examination of the implementation of various menstrual hygiene programmes in the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
The court had earlier directed the authorities to examine availability of affordable menstrual hygiene products, implementation of national schemes, awareness programmes, school-level facilities and sanitation infrastructure.
