Surat (Gujarat), Oct 08 (ANI): The students and teachers have performed ‘Garba’ dance holding sanitary napkins in their hands in Gujarat’s Surat on October 07. Students and teachers of Institute of Design and Technology (IDT) have performed ‘Garba’ holding sanitary napkins to create awareness about women’s hygiene. While speaking to ANI, one of the student said, “We want to create awareness about the importance of using sanitary napkins. Even though people in some parts of the country are comfortable with the issue, it is still a taboo in several rural regions.” “A lot of people shy away from talking about this issue. We feel proud of being a woman and this is part of it,” she added. Over 150 students of the institute performed ‘garba’ with sanitary napkins in their hands. Boys also participated in the event to spread the message of women's hygiene as they are also aware of the gravity of this issue.
