In the program Dignitaries briefs about various myths and taboos about Menstruation cycle and they aware the students about scientific and hygiene among them . They also made school girls about Menstruation cycle and hygiene 

Speaking on the occasion Priya Sethi said that With menstrual hygiene, a woman can have a healthy life. Menstrual hygiene must never be underestimated or ignored. Menstrual hygiene is a must for every girl and woman.

She said that Menstruation is nothing but a very normal biological phenomenon, and adolescent girls and women should understand that they have the power of procreation only because of this virtue .

She said Taboos about menstruation present in many societies impact on girls’ and women’s emotional state, mentality and lifestyle and most importantly, health. Large numbers of girls in many less economically developed countries drop out of school when they begin menstruating. 

She said BJP believes that woman’s health and welfare is of prime importance and conducts menstrual hygiene camps with an aim to create awareness on adopting hygienic practices amongst women. 

Braham Jyot said In India even mere mention of the menstruation topic has been a taboo in the past and even to this date the cultural and social influences appear to be a hurdle for advancement of knowledge on the subject. Culturally in many parts of India, menstruation is still considered to be dirty and impure. 

He said Young girls often grow up with limited knowledge of menstruation because their mothers and other women shy away from discussing the issues with them. Adult women may themselves not be aware of the biological facts or good hygienic practices . 

He said it is pertinent to follow a strategic approach for combating the myths and social taboos associated with menstruation in order to improve the reproductive health of adolescent girls and women. The first and foremost strategy in this regard is raising the awareness among the adolescent girls related to menstrual health and hygiene. 

He said these in cute these kids will be in higher ranks and they should be teached in positive manner and  BJP is doing its best to serve humanity by organising these kinds of awareness programs and he thanked Ved mandir committee ,  School incharge and other staff for positive contribution . 

Later on Nagarmal Thanked whole BJP team for positive response and for organising this kind of awareness programs in school .
