The opposition Congress today slammed the ruling BJD government in the Assembly for anomalies in the rolloot of 'Khushi' scheme for schoolgirls in the state.
Under the Khushi scheme, girls are provided free sanitary napkins in govenrment and government-aided schools across the state.
The Congress said that the scheme is being implemented in a partial manner.
Senior Congress MLA Bhujabal Majhi said the state government should make arrangements to provide sanitary napkins to girls studying between standard 6 and 12 in both aided and non-aided schools.
Majhi was replying to Health Minister Pratap Jenas statement in the Assembly. He said that the scheme will benefit girl students of only government-aided schools.
During Question Hour, Majhi said, Around 2,67,400 girls are studying in non-aided schools while many of the 51 schools for children with disabilities are yet to receive 'government-aided school' status. Would the state government include girl students of these schools under the scheme?
