 On January,2007 GoI introduced Self Employment Scheme for

For this purpose , Govt. of India instructed all the States to
conduct the fresh survey for identification of Manual Scavengers
and collection of information on incidence on Insanitary Latrine
in all the statutory towns.
5
Objective
1. To identify the manual scavengers in statutory towns ,who a) Not Covered under SRMS
b) Covered under SRMS but not given up manual
scavenging
2. To ensure that all genuine manual scavengers are identified,
and at the same time, possibility of inclusion of non-genuine
scavengers is minimized, if not eliminated.
3. To ascertain the social, economic and skill status of the
identified manual scavengers, and their willingness for
taking up alternative self employment ventures.
4. To ascertain details of the insanitary latrines, open drains etc.
to clean which the manual scavengers are engaged/employed

Definition of Manual Scavenger
• “Manual Scavenger” means a person engaged or
employed by:an individual / local authority / public or private agency,
for manually cleaning, carrying, disposing of, or
otherwise handling, in any manner, human excreta in an
insanitary latrine or in an open drain or pit into which
human excreta from insanitary latrines is disposed of, or
on a railway track, before the excreta fully decomposes.
7
[ Cleaning human excreta with the help of any devices
like high pressure water jet etc and using proper
protective gear shall not be treated as manual
scavenger ]
Definition of Insanitary Latrine
“Insanitary Latrine” means a latrine which requires
human excreta to be cleaned or otherwise handled
manually, either in situ, or in an open drain or pit into
which the excreta is discharged or flushed out, before
the excreta fully decomposes.
8
Distinction between Manual Scavenger & Safai Karmachari
(i) Safai Karamcharis normally include persons engaged as
‘Sweepers’ or ‘sanitation/cleaning workers’ in municipalities,
government and private offices. They may be direct employees of
these bodies (municipalities, government/private sector
organizations) or may be contract employees who happen to be
working for these organizations. However, Safai karamcharis, per
se, are not manual scavengers.
(ii) Manual Scavengers are usually self employed or contract
employees. “Self employed” means a person who scavenges a
group of household dry latrines or drains etc. in a particular ward,
for payment in cash and/or in kind, by the house-owners.
Contract employees would normally be those who are hired
through contractors, by a municipal body, any other organization
or a group of house-owners, to scavenge individual or community
9 dry latrines and open drains where night soil is disposed.

 Pilot Survey already completed in the ULBs of Dakhin
