FLO Indore organised a Women Farmers’ Health Screening and Menstrual Hygiene Awareness Camp in Bassandra Village on July 30, 2026, under its Agro & Food Processing Industries Initiative. The programme focused on promoting preventive healthcare, early detection of breast and cervical cancer, and menstrual hygiene awareness among rural women and adolescent girls.
A team of doctors from Aurobindo Medical College and Hospital, Indore, conducted health examinations for village women and led an awareness session for school-going girls. The programme also facilitated interactive discussions on women’s health, reproductive hygiene and the importance of preventive care. Recognising the significant contribution of women to agriculture and rural livelihoods, the initiative highlighted the importance of accessible healthcare in strengthening individual well-being, family health and community resilience.
It encouraged women to prioritise their health while continuing to contribute to agricultural and economic activities. The initiative engaged 10 FLO members and reached 100 village women through health screenings and awareness activities, while promoting menstrual hygiene education among adolescent girls.
