Modi ji is probably the first leader- World Leader- who talked about menstrual hygiene from the Red Fort. And sanitary pads – cheap sanitary pads – It was a matter of great pride for me, increasing every woman. As a woman, I felt proud. There are many girls who get out of school because they do not have knowledge about menstrual hygiene. So many girls get out – some are embarrassed, nothing knows how to use clothes properly. ,
