The Maharashtra government will roll out a scheme within a month to provide sanitary napkins at a subsidised rate to school girls and women from self-help groups (SHGs), Rural Development Minister Girish Mahajan told the assembly on Friday.

Responding to Bharatiya Janata Party legislator Namita Mundada during the question hour, Mahajan said the government is considering fixing the price of a packet of sanitary napkins at Re 1 for girl students.
