Nowadays, the uncontrollable increase in the prices of commodities has made it difficult for a person of lower income group. in fact even a middle class family to afford items of personal hygiene and care, especially for those living in rural areas. health problems in india and mainly in the rural areas are a great challenge. the health problems in females are serious because of improper facilities available in the rural areas and if available, they are unaffordable for them. it has been found that many women in rural areas still use rough clothes for their menstrual periods which are highly unhygienic. also the cost at which the multi-nationals sell their napkins, is keeping the rural women away and a solution for this has to be found. the biggest barrier to using a sanitary napkin is affordability. around 70% of women in india say their families can't afford to buy them. so, as an engineer, it is our moral responsibility to provide a solution for these types of issues and make india free from these issues. when i came to know about this issue, i along with my faculty advisor, mr. ashwini sharma (asst. prof., itm) decided to resolve this issue and finally it all began with the designing of the low cost sanitary napkin making machine ensuring that the sanitary napkin making process gets revolutionized wholly and the product can be sold in rural and remote areas at a much lower price than available in the market
