Kaddali Baunga is presenting Sanitary Napkin
This is a new initiative of the Women's Association. Since the beginning of menstruation, sanitary pads and napkins have been used
But you will be surprised to hear that Kaddali Baunga, which can be called the third Kaddali Gachara
is presenting a sanitary pad, which is starting in Odisha. The Pad Ombudsman of India, Anju Vishti
who is with us, will discuss more about the development of sanitary pads in Odisha
How will this project benefit women and how will Odisha's economic growth be
First of all, I welcome you to Argus News, Odisha and Jagannath Dham
Madam, the sanitary pad you will be presenting in the upcoming program
which will be presented in the 12th. How helpful will this project be for women in Odisha
We hope it will be very helpful. In a woman's life, we have to struggle with periods for half of her life
We have a 40 year menstruating lifetime. If there are such products
which make our periods a little easier, which make it easier to manage
we don't get rashes, it is possible that our period cramps get better
Such products are cheap and are better for the environment. They don't have chemicals or toxins
If such products are available, it will be beneficial for women. Madam, when we talk about the 100th day
we know that it started in 2007. It is the 70th day
It started in 2017. Sorry, it started in 2017. So, how many women
are involved in this project? Who are the people who are involved in this project
What is your vision? What can we do in Bannanatri? This vision is 100
of Ammaji, Shri Amritanandamayi Devi. She is a spiritual guru. Ammaji has many charitable activities
in India and outside India. When India was the president of G20
last year, Amma was appointed as the president of C20. This means that lakhs of NGOs in India
came together for discussions and policy deliberations. The whole process was under Ammaji's leadership
This is Ammaji's vision. The guidance for banana fibre was also given by Ammaji
Ammaji said that we should not make disposable sanitary napkins from banana fibre
but reusable ones. This was the first time in the world that this project was being done
No one else had made reusable sanitary napkins from banana fibre. This was also a research project
in Amrita University. When this project was launched in 2017, more than 5 lakh women
have been able to use these sanitary napkins. They are using them
They have completely got rid of the habit of disposable sanitary napkins
Whenever we talk about the religious religion, we throw away the disposable ones
or hide them. But when we talk about reusable ones, we talk about the olden days
when people used to use clothes. How comfortable would this be for the body
How would it be for hygiene? Especially for working women. How comfortable would it be for them
This is a matter of experience. I have not heard about it
I have my own experience. I used to use reusable sanitary napkins
even before Sokhyam. We used to live in the US before India moved
I bought my first set in the US. Reusable sanitary napkins, no matter what brand it is
are much more comfortable than disposable sanitary napkins. Disposable sanitary napkins are rashes for women
