The 'She Pad' scheme will benefit the girls of classes 6 to 12 in Kerala and will be implemented in 300 schools in 114 panchayats this year, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said in a Facebook post.
Free sanitary napkins, storage spaces and environment friendly incinerators at all government-aided schools in the state are envisaged as part of the project, he said.
Women's Development Corporation in collaboration with the local self-governments will be implementing it this year in 300 schools which will be expanded to all schools in the state in the coming years.
"I am hopeful that women-friendly initiatives like these will help our girls to lead a life of confidence," he added.
