The Telangana government has mandated that all private schools and colleges participate in the Swachh Evam Haritha Vidyalaya Rating initiative to improve hygiene and environmental standards. Additionally, schools are required to use the Prashast portal to screen students for potential disabilities.
Why it matters
This initiative aims to standardize health, sanitation, and inclusive education practices across all private educational institutions in the state.
State project director of Samagra Shiksha has urged all private management schools, residential colleges and junior colleges in Telangana to participate in the Swachh Evam Haritha Vidyalaya Rating (SHVR) 2026-27 initiative.
A nationwide school assessment framework launched by the Ministry of Education, SHVR aims at promoting cleanliness, hygiene, sanitation, environmental sustainability, and a healthy learning atmosphere in all educational institutions.
Under the programme, schools are required to sign up and login to the portal, https: //shvr. education.gov.in/, and fill in the self-assessment form. The rating parameters include sub-categories such as water, toilet, handwashing with soap, operation and maintenance, behaviour change and capacity building, and mission life activities, with a total score of 125 marks.
The SHVR assessment is a mandatory programme for all schools having a valid UDISE+ code.
