Shala Swasthya Parikshan

There was no statewide system to track student health in real-time, leading to undiagnosed conditions and delayed medical interventions.
Children, particularly in remote and socio-economically disadvantaged areas, faced challenges in accessing timely medical care due to healthcare gaps.
Previous school health screening programs were region-specific, lacked uniformity, and did not have structured follow-up mechanisms.
Teachers interact with students daily but were not formally involved in identifying early signs of health issues, delaying necessary referrals and interventions.
A lack of a digital, paperless system meant that large-scale health screenings were inefficient, prone to errors, and difficult to analyze for policy-driven decisions.

A digital health screening initiative was introduced to track student health in real-time, allowing for structured data collection and timely medical interventions.
A statewide digital rollout was conducted in August 2024, with 4.5 lakh teachers screening 75 lakh students in just 20 days using an app-based platform.
Identified health conditions were categorized into school-level interventions, medical referrals, and surgical cases, ensuring targeted action for each child.
Medical interventions were facilitated through Ayushman Bharat, Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK), and Palanhaar Scheme, ensuring free treatment for eligible students.
A monitoring system was integrated into Shala Darpan, enabling real-time tracking of health interventions, annual screenings, and continuous follow-ups.

Extensive health screening covered 75 lakh students, identifying 70 health conditions and capturing 50 crore data points on nutrition, physical health, and emotional well-being.
90,000 students were identified for urgent surgical interventions, while 20 lakh students required referrals for conditions like anemia, malnutrition, and epilepsy.
21 lakh students were flagged for hygiene-related issues (such as daily brushing and bathing), which were addressed through school-led awareness programs.
Eligible students were successfully linked with government health schemes like Ayushman Bharat and RBSK, ensuring free medical treatment and financial support.
A digital health monitoring system was integrated into Shala Darpan, enabling real-time tracking and making student health surveillance an ongoing process.
