Mira-Bhayandar School Earns Global EDGE Advanced Certification

Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) School No. 11 has received the prestigious EDGE Advanced Green Building Certification from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a World Bank Group member. This recognition highlights MBMC and the Aga Khan Agency for Habitat (AKAH) India’s efforts to build climate-resilient, resource-efficient schools. 

At the school, interventions such as heat-reflective Solar Reflective Index paint, energy-efficient BLDC fans, tap aerators, and dual-flush systems have delivered 46 per cent energy savings, 40 per cent water savings, and reduced annual emissions by 8.52 tCO₂.  

“MBMC’s School No. 11 receiving the EDGE Advanced certification is a proud moment for our city. After winning the Hon’ble President of India’s Award and being ranked Swachh Sheher No. 1, this milestone showcases our commitment to climate-smart, resource-efficient institutions and healthier learning spaces for our students,” said Shri Radhabinod Aribam Sharma IAS, Municipal Commissioner & Administrator, MBMC. 

Prerana Langa, CEO, AKAH India, added, “The recognition of MBMC School No. 11 with the IFC EDGE Advanced certification marks a milestone for sustainable public education infrastructure. Schools are at the heart of our communities, and by embracing practical green retrofitting measures, we can create healthier, climate-smart learning environments for students.” 

The initiative demonstrates how affordable retrofits can improve student comfort, conserve resources, and serve as a scalable model for sustainable urban education.
