The Transformative Role of Science and Technology in Eliminating Manual Scavenging Neha Narayanan (2024)
Indian society is marked by deep- rooted complexities, where identities are shaped not only by religion, and class but also by caste that creates
social hierarchies. Among the most dehumanizing manifestations of this structure is the practice of manual scavenging, where one person is forced to clean another' s waste.
This report by the South Asian Sanitation Worker and Labour Network (SASLN) explores how science and technology can play a critical role in eliminating manual scavenging in India. Drawing on field research, expert interviews, and technology reviews, the study identifies gaps in policy implementation and highlights the potential of mechanized sanitation tools to replace hazardous manual labour.
