The Swachh School Abhiyaan Programme is implemented through awareness sessions and advocacy efforts. Additionally, schools receive essential cleaning supplies to help maintain a hygienic environment. The programme promotes comprehensive cleanliness across school premises, including toilets, classrooms, drinking water stations and shared spaces, fostering a culture of hygiene and collective responsibility.

The programme is monitored by SSA supervisors through regular visits, assessing hygiene and cleanliness. Their feedback guides schools in identifying areas of improvement. A spirit of healthy competition is encouraged through quarterly ratings. The top-performing schools and cleaning staff are recognized and rewarded for their efforts, motivating continuous improvement in cleanliness standards.
