While the Indian government attributes this drop to the strict
enforcement of the Prohibition of Employment as Manual

Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, it couldn’t be farther from the truth. A
closer inspection of the problem reveals many shortcomings in the
implementation of the said act, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan as well as
procedures adopted to arrive at the official figure of manual
scavengers. 
The survey and its shortcomings 

The survey of manual scavengers in 2018 was conducted by the


National Safai Karamcharis Finance and Development Corporation
(NSKFDC) at the behest of the Ministry of Social Justice and
Empowerment. This survey, which found 87,913 manual
scavengers in India, was only conducted in the statutory towns of
14 Indian states.

NEXT BLOG ❯
The Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their
Rehabilitation Act, 2013 aims to eliminate insanitary latrines (those
not connected to pits/septic tanks/sewage lines) alongside
tracking the rehabilitation of manual scavengers in other
occupations and conducting periodic surveys.
To eliminate this practice, the act has provisions for stringent
penalties, for direct or indirect employment of any person in
hazardous cleaning of sewers or septic tanks by any person, local
authority or agency. For example, even the first instance of its
contravention is punishable with imprisonment up to two years or
fine up to Rs 2 lakh or both.
If a worker dies while performing such work, even with safety gear
and other precautions, the employer is required to pay
compensation of Rs 10 lakh to the family.

As per the National Commission for Safai Karamcharis (NCSK)
database, 608 manual scavengers have died between 2013 and NEXT BLOG ❯
2017 while cleaning septic tanks. However, many advocacy groups
have raised concern over the authenticity of this data, claiming that
the actual number would be much more.
NCSK reported 123 deaths during January-August 2017, whereas,
the SKA reported 429 deaths in the same duration in the National

While the contemporary official records evidently underestimate


the employment and deaths of manual scavengers in India, the
implementation of policies pertaining to their welfare have fallen
short in terms of reach and coverage.
The Self Employment Scheme for Liberation and Rehabilitation of
Scavengers (SRMS) was set up in January 2007 with the objective
of rehabilitating them and their dependents with alternative
livelihoods. The benefits and entitlements offered under the SRMS

extraction of faecal matter after a period of time. Given the
abundance of septic tank with soak pit and single pit varieties of
toilets and the low availability of suction pumps at the village level
for mechanical extraction, it is obvious that most of these toilets in
rural areas would be cleaned manually.
Given the present policy climate which has relegated the scourge
of manual scavenging to just an urban challenge, it is pertinent that
the situation of rural sanitation be highlighted.
While it is irrefutable that the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has made
unprecedented and positive behavioural and infrastructural
changes with regard to the usage of toilets, we need more effort
and time to substantially reduce manual scavenging. Perhaps, at a
policy level, the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has addressed the issue of
access to toilets, ignoring those cleaning them.
Judicial intervention and the way forward

Given the gaps in assessment and laxity in implementation, it is


unlikely that manual scavenging would end anytime soon. However,
the judiciary has taken a proactive role in addressing this issue.
