There are around 121 Million women in the country who use pads during their menstrual cycle every month. In a year, the disposal of over 12.3 billion sanitary napkins is a big issue. The plastic used in such napkins are not bio-degradable and hence are definitely creating health and environment hazards. 

Therefore, to build an Eco-healthy society, Jagruti Foundation has started a mass activity namely, Red Dot Campaign. The Campaign involves promoting following aspects:

1. Proper disposal of sanitary napkins using news paper to wrap the used sanitary pad by putting a red dot on one side as an indicator.
2. Adding one more category, Sanitary waste to the existing model of garbage separation at household level, i.e., Dry Garbage and Wet Garbage.
3. Helping the garbage collectors to handle the waste with ease and hygienically. 
4. Keeping the surroundings clean and healthy. 
5. Encouraging the participation of individual women as well as in groups in red dot campaign
6. Discussing the use of biodegradable napkins and related issues.
