Jharkhand and Bihar, a simple initiative is heralding a new dawn for young girls. Not only do their faces light up with joy as they press buttons on newly installed vending machines, but the soft whir of a sanitary napkin emerging marks a significant change in their lives — one that would help them continue their education with dignity.

The Sangini initiative, spearheaded by the Netarhat Old Boys Association Global Social Responsibility (NOBA GSR), has made remarkable strides in improving menstrual hygiene management across parts of rural India.
Currently active in around 675 schools, it has impacted over two lakh girls and women, reducing absenteeism, minimising dropout rates, and improving health outcomes.
Until recently, countless girls in parts of Bihar and Jharkhand were forced to endure menstruation in isolation.
Now, through the Sangini initiative, vending machines provide access to affordable and hygienic sanitary pads. The organisation's ultimate goal is to reach all 4.6 crore vulnerable girls and women across India.
