BOKARO: A state-run middle school at Marafari in Bansgoda under Chas block has set up a menstruation hygiene laboratory. Students can avail sanitary napkins free of cost, besides being counselled on menstrual hygiene. This is the first school in the district to have such a lab where students can also take rest if they experience pain or any other type of discomfort during their menstrual cycle.
Set up a week ago through donations, the lab is the brainchild of principal Manoj Kumar Jha, who was suggested the step by the UNESCO.
