Depending on the existing infrastructure and specific needs of each school, the company will construct or renovate between one and four functional toilet units. The programme will place special emphasis on hygiene and menstrual health management, with the objective of improving school attendance, dignity and overall well-being, particularly among girl students.
As part of its commitment under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Muthoot Finance has recently completed and inaugurated a new toilet block at Government Senior Secondary School in Barauli, Panipat district, Haryana, benefiting nearly 800 students.
