Abstract

This is a topic that delves into a deeply rooted and sensitive issue in Indian society. Manual scavenging, the practice of manually cleaning human waste, is both dangerous and degrading. Though banned by law, it remains a reality for many families, particularly within marginalized caste communities, who continue to bear the burden of this work due to economic deprivation, social discrimination, and lack of alternative employment opportunities.
