Swachh Bharat: Swachh Vidyalaya

A new government roadmap for WASH in Schools

The new national campaign, Swachh Bharat: Swachh Vidyalaya (SBSV), or “Clean India: Clean Schools”, was launched in September 2014, heralding a new era in the Indian government’s focus on WASH in 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.

SBSV will encompass both the technical and human development components that are necessary for good WASH practices. Technical components include drinking water, handwashing, toilet and soap facilities in the school compound for use by children and teachers and the human development components are the activities that promote conditions within the school and the practices of children that help to prevent water, hygiene and sanitation-related diseases.

In order to be successfully implemented, the staff and supporters of SBSV’s WASH in Schools initiatives will need to be built: teachers, community members, School Management Committee (SMCs), NGOs, Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and education administrators.

SBSV’s goal is to make a visible impact on the health and hygiene of children through improving both their health and hygiene practices, and also those of their families and communities. Another aim is to improve WASH curriculum and teaching methods while promoting hygiene practices and community ownership of water and sanitation facilities within schools. This will improve children’s health, school enrolment, attendance and retention and paves the way for new generation of healthy children.

According to the Indian Government speaking about SBSV: “It is the role of policymakers, government representatives, citizens and parents to make sure that every child attends a school that has access to safe drinking water, proper sanitation and hygiene facilities. This is every child’s right.”
