Panchayat had implemented a project for substituting synthetic sanitary pads
Synthetic sanitary pad-free Muhamma, a project jointly implemented by Muhamma grama panchayat in Alappuzha and Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE), which helped achieve better menstrual health and a cleaner environment in the local body, is vying for top prizes at Solution Search, a global crowdsourcing contest powered by Rare, a U.S.-based environmental organisation.
This year’s Solution Search contest facilitated by Rare’s Centre for Behaviour and the Environment focuses on unearthing existing and successful solutions that are reducing water pollution by changing behaviours.
