Overview
- The Department of School Education and Literacy released SHVR 2025‑26 results in mid‑June showing 191 schools selected nationally from 169,179 assessed and 11 of those schools are in Uttar Pradesh.
- Uttar Pradesh had shortlisted 20 top state schools for national evaluation and 11 of those state nominees secured places on the final national list.
- Notable UP entries and their national ranks include Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya Hariharpur Rani (Rank 9), Dayawati Modi Academy‑1, Meerut (Rank 4, private), Primary School Italia Mafi, Sambhal (Rank 12), and Primary School Chokhapur, Pilibhit (Rank 25).
- The SHVR process used a digital self‑assessment portal followed by district and state verification and final scrutiny, with schools judged on sanitation, water conservation, energy efficiency, waste management, green campus development and community participation.
- The Basic Education Department of Uttar Pradesh plans to honour its top 20 state nominees, a move state officials say will reward teachers, students and School Management Committees and encourage other schools to adopt similar sustainability and cleanliness practices.
