The government allocated 1.82 billion rupees (approximately US$16 million) in 2020 for the purchase and distribution of free sanitary pads to the approximately 29,000 government-aided schools in Nepal."

"Moreover, the WASH program is one such program wherein the government works closely with local authorities to improve sanitation services and spread awareness about practicing basic hygiene. In addition, community-led total sanitation (CLTS) has been initiated in WASH projects by at least ten local NGOs in over 30 of Nepal's 77 districts, with the assistance of six international NGOs. It provides education about menstrual hygiene which will drive the demand for sanitary napkins, tampons, and diapers.", Navneet further added.

Since people move to more developed areas, the immediate outcome is urbanization leading to improved lifestyles. Thereby, sanitary paper products market is registering a steady demand due to increasing hygiene awareness."
