The Odisha government has introduced a one-day menstrual leave for working women in government and private sectors. The policy, announced by Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida, allows women to take optional leave on the first or second day of their menstrual cycle. The state's women and child development department will issue detailed guidelines. Odisha is the third state, after Kerala and Bihar, to implement menstrual leave. This move aligns with nationwide demands for paid menstrual leave for students and working women. The policy aims to promote women's health, well-being, and productivity in the workplace.
