GUWAHATI. NEEPCO, under its Corporate Social Responsibility initiative for FY 2025–26, is supporting Bhava Devi Memorial Philanthropic Trust “SENEH”, Guwahati, for the project “Surabhi” aimed at promoting menstrual hygiene among underprivileged adolescent girls. The initiative focuses on educating young girls on menstrual hygiene management and providing free biodegradable sanitary napkins to 2,000 girl students across four districts of Assam—Morigaon, Baksa, Bajali and Udalguri. The project is aligned with NEEPCO’s Girl Empowerment Mission (GEM) programme.

Menstrual Hygiene Management, including access to safe sanitary products, is a vital component of preventive healthcare and sanitation. Lack of adequate menstrual hygiene can lead to reproductive tract infections and other health issues, often affecting school attendance and participation among adolescent girls. By enabling girls to manage menstruation hygienically and with dignity, the “Surabhi” project aims to reduce inequality, promote gender equality and support uninterrupted education for young girls in underserved communities.
