The Centre told the Rajya Sabha that the Menstrual Hygiene Policy for school-going girls is being implemented by states and Union Territories through coordinated efforts to ensure access to safe and affordable menstrual hygiene products in schools. Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Anupriya Patel, in a written reply, said that Union government implements the Menstrual Hygiene Scheme (MHS) for promotion of menstrual hygiene among adolescent girls. The scheme focuses on awareness generation, access to quality and affordable sanitary napkins, safe and environment-friendly disposal, and counselling on safe menstrual practices, she added. During such reviews, non-operational dialysis centres, if any, are brought to the notice of the concerned state/UT for taking corrective action, he added. The responsibility for timely operationalisation of dialysis centres, deployment of adequately trained manpower, including dialysis technicians, rests with the respective state/UT governments and the implementing partner, wherever engaged, Jadhav said.
