Seeded in 2018 during the National Conference for Women in Police, the move aims to create better work conditions for ‘mahila battalions’ in the CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force).<br /><br />The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has allocated ₹21 million to its ‘gender sensitive’ budget.

India sets aside money for 288 sanitary pad vending machines for the 8000 women in paramilitary forces

<br />
Ajmer, the quintessential Rajasthan city, has decided to put hygiene as a top priority in its agenda, for which it has launched the 'Sanitary Napkins Vending Machine', at 'Janana hospital'.<br />
 <br />
In the coming future, about 70 such machines will be placed at various places including jails, bus stand, polytechnic colleges, schools and other area, thus making Ajmer the first Indian city to have these machines in a huge quantity.<br />
 <br />
"In view of the stigma and social taboo associated with sanitary napkins, majority of the girls/women, feel embarrassed and hesitate to go to the commonly known outlets for sanitary napkins, manned and often crowded by men, resulting in unsafe practices, and use of unhygienic materials during menstrual periods. Thus, vending machine would be a good solution," said District collector Gaurav Goyal.<br />
 <br />
"We have ordered for 70 such machines in total which would be installed at girl's colleges, schools, Women Polytechnic College, Jail and other parts of the district. More such machines would be installed at Beawar, Kishangarh and Naseerabad areas," Goyal added, thus hinting at his plans to cover the whole district.<br />
 <br />
These machines, manufactured by Hindustan Lifecare Limited (formerly known as Hindustan Latex Limited), a government of India initiative, require the user to insert Rs 10, after which they would get 3 sanitary napkins.<br />
 <br />
Not only this, ‘Sanitary Napkin Incinerators’ are also to be attached with these vending machines to solve the problem of disposal of safe napkins.<br />

Chipotle has faced major food poisoning outbreaks before

Telling us 10 gadgets that are a must have for every woman is <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/If-you-thought-only-TwinkleKhanna-and-Akshay-are-confessing-their-love-on-social-media-you-need-to-checkthese-pics/articleshow/47691225.cms">Bollywood actress-cum-writer Twinkle Khanna</a>. Mrs Funnybones has been in the news lately for several reasons - for writing a book we all know that, for <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/7-on-screen-to-off-screen-love-stories-of-bollywood/Akshay-Kumar-and-Twinkle-Khanna/slideshow/46230724.cms">having an awefully loving husband who babysits while wifey is busy shooting</a>, and when her father's dream home was being razed recently.<br />
<br />
She now has a little advice for women. Here is a gadget checklist she wants every woman to have. It's pretty cool and shows <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/twinkle-funnybones-khanna-is-more-than-glitter-shes-beyond-clever/articleshow/48555290.cms?from=mdr">Mrs Funnybones</a> is back with her humour, here check it out:<br />
<br />
1. <strong>A magnifying glass with a built-in laser:</strong> Using the same technology as Putin’s S-400 missiles, it will let you spot, target and destroy stray strands of hair that have the audacity to sprout overnight on your chin or upper lip. A zap a day keeps the razor away.<br />
<br />
2. <strong>A vibrating alarm in our sanitary napkins: </strong>Alright, maybe not vibrating ’cause that would set us off on another path, but an alarm that syncs with our smartphone to warn us of ‘Imminent Overflow’, thus saving us the hundred trips we make to the bathroom ‘just to check’.<br />
<br />
3. <strong>An implanted microchip:</strong> When desired, it will stop the frenzied stream of thoughts washing across our brain and mimic the ability of the XY chromosome- holders who can stare into blank space and actually think about nothing. Not the kind of nothing in which you wonder, ‘Should I exchange that dress I got from Zara, from medium to small? Because I should be able to lose 5 kilos by next weekend or maybe I’d better wear it now before everyone goes and buys it. So how many calories did I eat for lunch, let me count …’ Not that sort of nothing, I mean actually nothing — zero brainwave activity aside from regulating vital functions.<br />
<br />
4. <strong>High heels with a button: </strong>So they turn into flats when required, like across gravelly paths and long hotel corridors. With another tap, the heel slides out again so you can glide into the party with your legs looking five inches longer as desired, throwing away the no-pain, no-gain adage, along with bunions and swollen ankles.<br />
<br />
5. <strong>A weighing machine that can lie: </strong>Not big dramatic lies where you wonder if you have left Earth and are now under the moon’s gravitational pull; just small white lies, like a kilo or two here and there.<br />
<br />
6. <strong>A drone trained to spy on your mother-in-law:</strong> It sets off multiple alerts each time she is on her way to your house so that you can make a quick exit and be saved from spouting endless variations of, ‘Yes, you are right Mummyji’ while cowering with fear at what she will find fault with next.<br />
<br />
7. <strong>A pair of cyborg arms to attach to your own two flesh-and-blood ones:</strong> An absolute must for the three hours that you have in the evening, after coming back from work and before going to bed. With this invention, multitasking would be a breeze — draw a diagram for your daughter’s project, throw some marinated chicken into the oven, make the husband’s favorite gin and tonic which apparently doesn’t taste the same when he makes it himself, and slather on the heavily advertised de-wrinkling face pack that will make you look 10 years younger in 10 minutes. After a while, you may wonder how you even did it all earlier with just two arms.<br />
<br />
8. <strong>A camera with an inbuilt projector embedded in the retina:</strong> To be used on men with convenient amnesia whenever they say that they have absolutely no recollection of agreeing to a particular thing. This blanket statement covers everything from taking the dog to the vet, visiting our second cousin Chunna and going to see a play called Vagina Monologues. Just turn your steely gaze to a blank wall and replay that particular recorded incident with the date and time as irrevocable proof.<br />
<br />
9. <strong>A pen with inbuilt darts:</strong> Handy when men talk over you, drowning out your views, or down to you, like you are an imbecile. Point the pen and a tiny tranquilizer dart discretely flies out across the conference table and sticks them in the neck causing an immediate allergic reaction with itchy hives at which point you can always smile sweetly and say, ‘You know that looks like a nasty autoimmune disorder, are you sure you are not allergic to your own bullshit?’<br />
<br />
10.<strong> A chill pill:</strong> As I sat alone to write this piece, I heard the old clamouring in my head, telling me that I should spend this time reading a book to the baby, checking on my son’s homework or looking into the man of the house’s dinner, and that I can get back to my task once they don’t need me and have gone to bed.<br />
<br />
"And I realized that while all the other gadgets and inventions would be wonderful what we first need is something that cures guilt. We are so busy being mothers, daughters, sisters, and wives that the time we spend on ourselves, on our work, is laced with self-reproach. So, I propose a pill made in the laboratory of our minds that gets rid of that nagging voice in the head caused by years of conditioning. Women are capable of juggling multiple balls in the air, but perhaps it’s time to drop the one marked guilt," <a href="http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/mrsfunnybones/10-gadgets-women-need-desperately/">she concludes in her write-up</a>.<br />
