Supreme Court Reserves Judgment On Plea Seeking Policy For Free Sanitary Pad Distribution To School-Going Girls

The Supreme Court of India has reserved its judgment on a plea seeking the formulation of a national policy for the free distribution of sanitary pads to school-going girls. The petitioners have argued that providing free sanitary products in schools is crucial to ensuring that girls can continue their education without disruption. This initiative is aimed at tackling menstrual hygiene issues, which often prevent girls from attending school. The court's ruling will determine the feasibility and potential implementation of such a policy at the national level.
