He specifically urged the female students to give utmost importance in respect of health and hygiene during the time of menstruation. "Never be ashamed of or fear the process of menstruation. A girl should not be suggested to eat selectively during the periods and, as a result of this, the girl faces mental harassment at that particular period of time. So we should have to teach the guardians about the various aspects of health and hygiene during periods." Dr. Roy said to the female students.
