The Mahila brand was awarded as the ‘Best Social Initiative on Menstrual Hygiene’ at the recently held 3rd ‘Mentral Hygiene Management India Conference’. The brand used banana fiber to make sanitary pads. Under the Mata Amritanandamayi Math Project, the re-built reusable ‘Soukhyam’ pads are made by women self-groups in several states of the country.

Dr. Swadeep Srivastava, founder and president of ‘Heal Foundation’, said, “Five years ago, after a survey by ‘WaterAid India’ and ‘UNICEF’, it was claimed that due to lack of toilets and sanitary pads in schools in South Asia, More than a third of girls do not go to school.

Soukhyam pads have also been awarded the ‘Best Innovation Product Award’ by the National Institute of Rural Development.

The project was also appreciated at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (2018) in Poland. NITI Aayog had honored ‘Saukhyam’ with the ‘Women Transforming India Award’ last year.
