Niswarth Kadam Organises Hygiene & Health Awareness Programme for Underprivileged Women

Niswarth Kadam, a leading NGO working at the grassroots level, organised a Sanitary Pad Distribution and Health & Hygiene Awareness Programme for underprivileged women living in the slum cluster of Sector-50. The initiative aimed to promote dignity, menstrual hygiene, and health awareness among women who often live in vulnerable conditions due to lack of information and resources.

Dr. Pramod Raghav, Founder of Niswarth Kadam, said,

“Hygiene and health are fundamental rights of every woman. As a society, we must work together to strengthen awareness, equality, and dignity for women, especially those from marginalised communities.”
He further emphasized that educating women about personal hygiene and health is essential for their empowerment and overall progress in life.

Members of Niswarth Kadam shared that the programme helped break hesitation and silence around menstrual health among women residing in slum areas. Through open interaction and counselling, the initiative focused on dispelling myths related to menstruation and reinforcing the importance of hygiene, health, and self-respect.

The programme received encouraging support from the local community, reflecting a growing awareness and acceptance of discussions around women’s health. Niswarth Kadam reiterated its commitment to creating a healthier and more inclusive society by continuously working towards awareness, education, and empowerment of women.
