Almost 160 schoolgirls aged 14–18 in this school and about 100 parents along with a few teachers remained present at the camp.There was detailed discussion on menstrual hygiene and various practical questions were answered by the speakers. Girls were selected by cluster sampling technique in secondary schools in rural areas. Data were collected through an anonymous, self-administered, open-ended questionnaire by conducting quiz. Aspects of personal hygiene were generally found to be poor, such as not changing pads regularly or at night, and not bathing during menstruation.
