KITE's 'Haritha Vidyalayam 4.0' education reality show from Dec

T'puram: Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE) is set to launch the fourth edition of the educational reality show, ‘Haritha Vidyalayam,' this Dec. This initiative aims to showcase the achievements and best practices of state's public education sector. Govt and aided schools are invited to apply by Nov 15. Interested schools may apply online through the portal www.hv.kite.kerala.gov.in.

Schools will be selected for the preliminary round based on various crucial parameters, including academic and co-curricular activities, infrastructural facilities, social participation, digital education integration, recognised accolades and unique, innovative school-specific activities. The primary objective of the programme is to recognise creative and exemplary work carried out by schools, bring them to the public's attention, share these successful models with other institutions and ultimately raise the overall standard of public education. This platform will facilitate discussions on the comprehensive advancements implemented by the education department within the public education sector. It is a deserved recognition for Kerala's schools, which now provide state-of-the-art physical facilities, excellent academic support and technology-based learning, including AI and robotics, an official statement said on Monday.

A total of 100 schools will be selected for the preliminary round from the pool of applicants. KITE will undertake video documentation of these selected schools. Furthermore, schools chosen for this round will be provided with a maximum of Rs 20,000 to cover costs related to their presentation, travel and accommodation. The programme will be telecast on KITE VICTERS educational channel starting from the end of Dec. K Anvar Sadath, CEO of KITE, said special awards will be presented to the ten schools selected for the final round and to the ultimate winners during the Grand Finale in Feb 2026.
