Abstract: Menstrual hygiene management (MHM) is a crucial component of women's health, particularly in India, where menstruation is still shrouded in silence and stigma. Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand, reflects many of the national challenges in managing menstruation with dignity and safety. In recent years, awareness around menstrual health has increased, but education and resources remain limited, especially for women in rural and low-income communities. This article explores the current state of menstrual hygiene education in Ranchi, the barriers to progress, and strategies for future improvements.
