New Delhi: While interacting with the girl students of NDMC schools on the theme of "Menstrual Hygiene Management Curriculum", Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar called upon the students that the three components namely Education, Equality and Empowerment play an important and pivotal role in moving the country forward. She interacted with over 300 girl students and lady teachers of NDMC schools at NDMC Convention Centre on Tuesday. This event has been organized by the NDMC in association with Miss World Organization under the "Beauty with purpose" mission led by Chairperson, Julia Morley.
Miss World Chhillar said that the menstruation is a natural phenomenon and now it is neither dirty nor a taboo or shameful at personal, family and society levels. She added that the use of sanitary pads and Do's and Don'ts should be discussed with openness, so as to make hygienic and healthy life of womenfolk. Advocating the use of eco-friendly sanitary napkin pads, she said that one should practise the jute sanitary pads as these were more natural having fiber and easily available in India and other parts of the world.
In his welcome address, Chairman, NDMC, Naresh Kumar said that it was a matter of privilege and pride not only for NDMC but also for New Delhi where the world beauties wished to visit for a purpose under the "Beauty with Purpose" Mission. The New Delhi is the heart of the country and seat of the Indian Government and any message spreading from here, there is no doubt that it will reach every corner of the country and overseas as well. This innovation would go a long way in dispelling the myth and breaking the taboo about the female hygiene and health.
