The system provides collection, removal and responsible disposal of sanitary waste. Users need to insert a Rs 5 coin in the vending machine to take out a napkin.

Panjab University’s coordinator for the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan Seema Kapoor said more such machines and bins will be installed in the girls hostels and all departments of the varsity after the successful trial.

Amanpreet Dhillon, a student of Panjab University, said, “I think this is an excellent initiative taken by the authorities of the university for ensuring cleanliness and it will go a long way in helping the women on the campus.”
