Gramalaya warmly invites you to the Fifth MHM India Summit 2025, taking place on 21 November 2025 in Hotel Shangri-La Eros, New Delhi. As India’s leading platform on Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management, this summit moves beyond dialogue to drive policy advocacy, CSR engagement, and grassroots action. Together with leaders, practitioners, and communities, we will address period poverty, promote sustainable menstrual health solutions, and dismantle stigma—paving the way for a future of dignity, equity, and inclusion for women and girls across India.

Gramalaya, founded in 1987 by Padma Shri Awardee Mr. S. Damodaran has been working for the past four decades to ensure good health, safety, dignity, and privacy for women and children through water, sanitation, and menstrual hygiene initiatives,. As a National Key Resource Centre of the Ministry of Jal Shakti, Government of India, Gramalaya has developed and demonstrated successful models of community-based water and sanitation initiatives across India. Gramalaya envisions a society where everyone has access to clean water, safe toilets, and menstrual hygiene management facilities. Through our work in homes, schools, and communities, we empower people to lead healthier and more dignified lives.

Gramalaya has been at the forefront of promoting Menstrual Hygiene Management in South India, addressing the lack of awareness and access to safe products among adolescent girls. Our impact includes the construction of 1,200+ adolescent girl-friendly toilet complexes and the renovation of 180+ community toilets, alongside the large-scale promotion of eco-friendly reusable cloth pads. Over the last eight years, Gramalaya has reached 20,00,000+ women and girls, supporting their transition from unhygienic practices to safe, eco-friendly alternatives. We have distributed more than 8,00,000 reusable cloth pads, reducing dependence on single-use sanitary napkins and contributing to environmental sustainability. Gramalaya has also been a pioneer in the menstrual health space, organizing India’s first National Summit on Menstrual Hygiene Management in 2019, New Delhi. Since then, we have successfully conducted four national-level summits, each growing in scale and impact.
