shortly.
She felicitated and distributed the certificates to the 27 NSS Volunteers and
2 Programme Officers who attended the Adventure Camp held at Roing in
Arunachal Pradesh. She also appreciated the service rendered by the Programme
Officers during their three year tenure.
Dr. T. Ramani Devi, Vice President of TRIOGS while receiving the first copy
of the report said Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) was high in India, 75 per lakh,
which are preventable. Ignorance of good healthy food habits and personal and
Menstrual Hygiene Management were the main reasons for this high rate of MMR.
WISH could play a key role in popularising the message of Nutritious food and
MHM and thereby reduce the rate of MMR.
Dr. M.S. Ashraf, Member of Tamil Nadu Medical Council, Trichy pointed out
that a large number of college students especially girls were suffering from
Anaemia. More balanced diet and intake of cereals and pulses can cure this
menace. Mrs. Jembaga Ramakrishnan, Coordinator, All Ladies Clubs of Trichy
offered felicitations. Mr. V. Ganapathy, Coordinator of WISH and Special
Correspondent of ‘The Hindu’ (Retd.) proposed the Vote of Thanks.

NSS WISH forum Distributes Sanitary Napkins to School Girls in the
Villages
The need for enhancing cleanliness and improvement of hygiene among the
school girls and the rural folk by insisting them to adopt effective measures using
sanitary napkins for a clean and hygienic environment and a healthy body has
become the need of the NSS. The Principal of the Cauvery College for Women,
Trichy Dr.Mrs.V.Sujatha urged the NSS Programme Officers of the urgent need to
distribute the Sanitary napkins to the school girls and the women folk in the
village, Pettavaithalai and in the adopted schools at Shanthi Sevai Hr. Sec. School.
200 girls took part in the session on 10.03.2014 and they were briefed on changing
the wet soiled napkins and discarding them by using a newspaper and to dispose
them in the dustbin. The Programmer Officer, Dr. A.R. Gomathi, Rita
Shanthakumar, A. Sahaya Jenitha and a band of trained NSS volunteers
distributed the napkins to the girls with clear instructions. Student volunteers gave
a mini demo in skit form bringing out the message that if napkins are not changed,
thus resulting in rashes and infection. The menstrual hygiene programme under
the aegis of NSS WISH Forum of Bharathidasan University, NSS coordinator Dr. L.
Ganesan has exhorted this activity to be a part of the womenfolk, school students
etc.
An awareness programme on the usage of clean pads was reached out in the
rural areas to a mass of 50 women folk. They were instructed not to dispose them
in the open fields, drainages and at backyards but to burn them as the birds of the
air or the stray animals will make the environment nasty.
