SANITARY NAPKIN INCINERATOR
Sanitary Napkins are usually disposed off in dust bin or open surfaces, which raise various contagious diseases. To overcome this common problem, a user friendly incinerator is installed to destroy the used Napkin without causing hazards to environment.
Incinerators have been installed in 126 Government Schools at the cost of Rs. 20,655/- each units with total estimate of Rs. 26,02,530/-. After the installation, the dropout and absentees has come down and performance of the students has improved, drastically.
