world toilet day on the theme of “Safety Measures for Cleaning Sewers to Prevent Deaths of Sewer Workers” We celebrate the World Toilet Day every year on 19th November. This year too, we are going to celebrate this day. These days we often hear the tragic news about so many sewer workers losing their lives while working inside the sewer. This is a matter of grave concern for all of us, and so Sulabh International has decided this year to organize the World Toilet Day on the theme of “Safety Measures for Cleaning Sewers to Prevent Deaths of Sewer Workers”.

On this occasion, we are holding a programme in which the various experts in this field will attend and deliberate and give their useful suggestions on how to prevent deaths while cleaning sewers. The safety measures to be taken and the equipments required to undertake this work will be discussed in an open-ended way so that a viable solution can emerge.

Sulabh International would also like to undertake this work directly with the Municipal Corporations, Municipalities and different authorities in order to ensure what best could be done in this regard.

Equipment for cleaning sewers to prevent deaths of sewer workers

Special purpose vehicle mounted, Electro-hydraulically operated, Sewer Jetting cum Rodding cum Mechanical manhole desilting machine

The machine is ideal for carrying out periodic mechanical desilting of manholes and to flush out sewer lines using the powerful jetting pump capable of producing 150 bar operating pressure and a flow of 150 litres per minute. It is also capable of de-choking sewer line using specially designed flexible steel rods.

The machine can ensure that no Safai Karamcharis have to ever enter the sewer line risking their life and dignity and violating the Manual Scavenging Act. This machine is being displayed by Sulabh International at the function on 19th November.

“HOMAGE to Sulabh International for vision of liberation of millions of scavengers.

Abraham Lincoln liberated five million black slaves−Sulabh dreams of liberating 20 million rejected for handling dirt. All honour to Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak for actualising Gandhiji's dream of abolishing untouchability.

As author of novel, Untouchable, written in Sabarmati Asharam, I am proud to be associated with this liberation movement.

I congratulate Dr. Pathak and his associates for the persistent, organised and imaginative initiatives in the struggle to free the untouchables from bonded labour.

May the dream be realised in the whole of our country.”

Dr. Mulk Raj Anand, A noted writer and Novelist March 2, 1989

“I am the son of the son of Mahatma Gandhi but Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak is the son of his soul. If we were to go to meet Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, he would first greet Dr. Pathak for the noble work that he is doing and then meet me. Dr. Pathak has restored human rights and dignity to people engaged in the manual cleaning of human excreta which they carried as head-load.”

Prof. Rajmohan Gandhi, Grandson of Mahatma Gandhi January 5, 2009
