School Water And Sanitation Towards Health and Hygiene (SWASTHH Plus):
This programme, initiated by UNICEF in collaboration with SSA in three districts of Karnataka, Gulbarga, Raichur and Tumkur, aims at universal enrolment, attendance and retention in an environment conducive to learning.

•Developing supplementary education materials on health, hygiene and sanitation for teachers and students based on the analysis.
