Jan Aushadhi Stores Make Periods Safer With ₹1 Sanitary Pads

Good news for women all over India, especially if you’re in a small town. The government’s Jan Aushadhi stores are selling sanitary pads for just Re 1. Yes, you heard it right, only Re 1! Uttar Pradesh is leading in sales, followed by Gujarat and other states.

Many women still use old clothes during their periods because branded pads are costly. Using cloth is not good for health and can lead to many problems like infections and even cancer.

This Re 1 pad, called Suvidha, is part of a plan by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It aims to make periods safer and more comfortable for women who can’t afford expensive pads. The sales have gone up a lot in the last few years, and they are planning to sell even more.

Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat have done a fantastic job in this Re 1 sanitary pad scheme. Uttar Pradesh is the top seller, with sales reaching about Rs 7 crore. Gujarat follows closely with Rs 6.36 crore in sales.

Both states opened many stores. Uttar Pradesh has 1,500 Jan Aushadhi stores, and Gujarat has 613. These stores are easy to find, even in small places. This means more women can buy these affordable pads without traveling far.

As you know, having more stores means more awareness. People talk, news spreads, and soon everyone knows where to get a Re 1 pad. So, both states are making sure women know about this great option.

To make it easy for you to buy, these cheap pads are sold in over 10,000 Jan Aushadhi stores. Many of these stores are in small towns and rural areas. So, it’s likely you’ll find one near you.

So, the next time you need sanitary pads, you know there’s an affordable and safe option available. This is a big step towards better health for women in India.

The government deserves a big thumbs-up for this initiative. Jan Aushadhi Stores are special shops where you can buy medicines and health items at low prices. They make healthcare affordable for everyone. Now, they’re selling Re 1 sanitary pads too!

This initiative is a game-changer for women, especially in small towns and villages. Many women can’t buy expensive pads and use unsafe methods during their periods. This can lead to serious health problems. 

Offering a pad at just Re 1 makes it easy for every woman to take care of her health. The government is planning to open even more stores. It’s a great move for women’s health in India.
