A menstrual health awareness initiative was conducted at Governnment Girls Higher Secondary School, Sulur, Coimbatore, on Wednesday, 04 February 2026 by students of Master of International Business programme, Dr GR Damodaran College of Science, Coimbatore. The initiative took place at the school premises in the presence of Mrs. Geetha, Head Mistress of the school and witnessed active participation from students of the higher secondary sections. 

The programme was held with the aim of educating young girls on menstrual health, hygiene, and wellbeing. The initiative was undertaken by a team led by Dharshana, Grace Sandra, Krithik Ragavan and their classmates. The initiative was done as part of a social initiative from the institution. The session focused on creating awareness about the menstrual cycle, addressing common misconceptions, and promoting healthy and hygienic practices among adolescent girls.
