Full guide
What the scheme gives you
Odisha’s Khushi Scheme provides free sanitary pads to adolescent girls in school, so that periods do not become a reason to miss classes or drop out. Girl students in Classes 6 to 12 in government and government-aided schools receive the pads directly at school — there is no form to fill and no cost. Behind the scenes, a “Khushi” web application tracks stock and distribution so supply reaches the schools.
Who can get it
The scheme is for school-going adolescent girls in Odisha. You are eligible if:
- You are a girl student in Classes 6 to 12

How it works
There is no application process. The school authorities distribute the sanitary pads to eligible girl students through the year. If pads are not reaching you, the first step is to ask the teacher in charge at your school, since distribution and stock are managed and monitored at the school level.
