Pakeezah - Path to successful womanhood - International Women's Day

A special cover was released on 8th March 2019 at Patiala to celebrate International Women's Day.

Pakeezah is a social health initiative of District Administration Patiala in collaboration with Bharat Petroleum to make the girls and women of Patiala aware about healthy Menstrual practices and providing low-cost sanitary pads. The project plays a subtle role in building social capital and social mobilization at grass-root level by providing an interactive platform where young adolescents of both genders can come together and talk about mensuration which has been considered a forbidden thing in traditional Indian society. Pakeezah as the name indicates has all pure intentions to inspire women to accept mensuration as a natural part of them and more aware about it scientifically. District administration Patiala is releasing this special cover on the occasion of International Women's Day.
