Achieving the Green Leaf rating is expected to help the establishments gain better international recognition. The rating process is coordinated by the Suchitwa Mission.
In the first phase, facilities with five or more beds that completed a self-assessment through the online portal developed by the State government were considered for the Green Leaf rating. The rating is based on criteria such as the presence of scientific systems for managing solid and liquid waste in accordance with existing regulations, and infrastructure for the scientific treatment of non-biodegradable waste.
