What is manual scavenging?

  • Manual scavenging is defined as “the removal of human excrement from public streets and dry latrines, cleaning septic tanks, gutters and sewers manually”.

Manual Scavenging (Prohibition) Act

  • India banned the practice under the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act, 2013 (PEMSR).

  • The Act bans the use of any individual manually cleaning, carrying, disposing of or otherwise handling in any manner human excreta till its disposal. 

  • The Act recognizes manual scavenging as a “dehumanizing practice”.

Swachhata Abhiyaan mobile app

  • The Swachhata-MoHUA is the official app of Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs(MoHUA), Government Of India.

  • The app enables a citizen to post a civic-related issue (eg; a garbage dump) which is then forwarded to the city corporation concerned and thereafter assigned to the sanitary inspector of the particular ward.

  • The app has been developed to identify and geotag the insanitary latrines data.

  • The compiled data will then be used to replace insanitary latrines with sanitary latrines.

  • Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act, 2013 mandates insanitary latrines survey, their demolition and replacement with sanitary latrines.

  • The app was launched on December 24, 2020 to capture the data of insanitary latrines still existing and the manual scavengers associated with them.

  • Anyone could upload the data on the mobile app, which would then be verified by the district administration concerned.
