“When we started the campaign we were not sure how many people will participate in it. But later lots of employees contributed to this cause,” said one of the organizer.

“Some men employees offered money, but we encouraged them to purchase the sanitary napkins and drop them,” another organizer added.

The initiative undertaken by the company received an overwhelming response with other organization located in the region showing interest in taking part in it.

The company has decided to hand over the collected napkins to the representatives of “sakhi” an NGO working for women.
