Ensuring the availability of safe and clean water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities is a cornerstone of providing a conducive learning environment for students and fostering a sense of dignity and well-being. The "National Standards for WASH in Schools and Monastic Institutions" is a testament to our commitment to standardising WASH facilities and services in schools and monastic institutions. By establishing uniform WASH standards, we aim to guarantee that every student, teacher, and practitioner, regardless of their location or institution, has access to clean water, proper sanitation, and sound hygiene practices. Standardization not only elevates the quality of facilities but also underscores our dedication to equity and inclusivity. It ensures that no student or practitioner is left behind and that each individual benefits from an environment that prioritizes their health, dignity, and overall well-being. In this document, you will find a detailed set of guidelines and standards, crafted through collaboration and expertise drawn from people in the field, aimed at creating environments that facilitate learning, spiritual growth, and holistic development. These standards are not just a set of directives; they are a commitment to the betterment of our educational and religious institutions.
