Inventor of low cost sanitary pads awarded Padma Shri
Indian invents cheap sanitary pads, to be available in 70 developing countries
Coimbatore: For Arunachalam Muruganantham, the year 2016 couldn’t have started off any better. It was only a few days ago he got know that he has been adjudged for an award by the Portugal government as Indian Business Leader of the Year.
While congratulatory messages for the recognition still kept pouring in, Muruganantham got information that he has been chosen by the Union government for the Padma Shri Award 2016, for inventing low-cost sanitary napkins.
I am not usually excited by awards. But Padma Shri is an exception,” says Murugantham who had just landed in Coimbatore on Monday evening after a tour of various cities to adress audiences ranging from students to businessmen.
The award will be an inspiration for youth, especially engineering students. Rather than helping me, the award might inspire another ‘Muruganantham’ to emerge,” he said.
