NRI`s sanitary machine |
Seventeen-year-old Devika Chhipa Kumar, an Indian American student at Westwood High School in Austin, Texas, has chosen a unique but an extremely important cause. She is currently in a village in Kota, Rajasthan, to install a cost-effective sanitary pad manufacturing machine for promoting better health among women and girls.Kumar, a 12th grader, has undertaken the task as part of her Girl Scout project, which requires her to fulfil an 80-hour-long sustainable project that serves less fortunate communities. She has installed the sanitary pad machine in the Dityakheri panchayat zone – where the lack of awareness on menstrual hygiene is especially acute.
