Drinking Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Schools in India

• In Event: Drinking water, sanitation & hygiene in schools - global baseline report 2018 and country case studies

Proposal

In India, there is the national school WASH award scheme, called the Swachch Vidyalaya Puruskar which has seen a huge participation of schools. A web-based dashboard allows for national, state, district officials to track the WASH situation for schools under their responsibility and take corrective steps where needed. The online dashboard and data is also bringing better earmarking of funds and corporate social responsibility (CSR) investment for WASH in schools.
