Gujarat government has always been striving to improve the quality of education. A program called ‘Goonotsav’ was implemented in the year 2009 with the aim of progressive improvement in the quality of school education with awareness of quality education in the education system and social participation at the local level. Along with the new trends in education and the changes in the world of education, the Gunotsava program has also been constantly changing and evolving. That is why the series of Gunotsav program held from 2009 to 2018 has also done the task of motivating the entire country towards school quality determination and improvement.

The experience of the Gunotsava program series made it clear that for the achievement of the highest quality in schools it is necessary to focus on the quality of the process of schooling programs and also on the quality of the teaching-learning process.

There has been constant reflection at the state level for more effective implementation of a well-conducted and successful Gunotsav program which resulted in the idea of Gunotsav 2.0, an enhanced form of Gunotsav in 2019, which was realized in the same year. It was given to the Gujarat School Quality Accreditation Council (GSQAC) with a view to identifying a specific body for the Gunotsav program in the form of Gunotsav 2.0. The responsibility of the director of this institute was entrusted to the director of Gujarat Educational Research and Training Parishad (GCERT). In this way, GCERT got the procedure of Gunotsav 2.0 and GCERT started school accreditation in the form of Gunotsav 2.0 from the year 2019-20.
