Project THINKAL
Chennai: Reinforcing its commitment to menstrual hygiene and sustainability,
Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited (CPCL), in collaboration with HLL
Management Academy (HMA), launched the M-Cup distribution initiative under
Project THINKAL at CPCL Polytechnic College, Manali. The initiative
specifically targeted communities in Manali, Ennore, and Thiruvottiyur.
The distribution drive was inaugurated by Gomuraj,
Deputy General Manager (Administration), CPCL and distributed M-Cups to
selected beneficiaries and officially launched an informative booklet on
menstrual cups, aimed at educating women on safe, effective, and hygienic usage
practices.
Project THINKAL, a flagship initiative of HLL
Management Academy, focuses on spreading awareness about menstrual health and promoting
sustainable alternatives such as menstrual cups. The launch event at CPCL
Polytechnic College marks a significant step forward in bringing eco-friendly
and cost-effective menstrual hygiene solutions to underrepresented communities.
Speaking at the event, Gomuraj emphasized the
importance of menstrual hygiene education and the role of sustainable products
in empowering women and reducing environmental waste. “Initiatives like Project
THINKAL help us move closer to a society where women can manage their menstrual
health with dignity, safety, and environmental consciousness,” he said.
With continued efforts under Project THINKAL, CPCL and
HMA aim to expand the reach of M-Cup distribution and awareness programs across
more regions in Tamil Nadu, ensuring access to safe menstrual care for all.
