Abstract

Swachh Bharath-Swachh Vidhyalaya is the national campaign driving “Clean India: Clean Schools”. A key feature of the campaign is to ensure that every school in India has a set of functioning and well maintained water, sanitation and hygiene facilities. Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in schools refer to a combination of technical and human development components that are necessary to produce a healthy school environment and to develop or support appropriate health and hygiene behaviours. It improves children health, school enrolment, attendance and retention and paves the way for new generation of healthy children.
