Expectations from State
NAMASTE - TSU, UMC
PROFILING PROCESS OF SSWs
Why Profiling of SSWs?
The objective of the profiling camp is to
identify Sewer and Septic Tank Workers (SSWs)
who directly deal with faecal matter
We have the constitutional mandates, legislations, Supreme Court orders
and Human Rights Commission Directives
Yet,
the invisibility of sanitation workers continues
Inclusion of sanitation workers is not
possible if we do not have a robust
database of workers
Challenges of SSWs
Social Issues:
Lack of identity 
and formal recognition of sanitation workforce
Lack of awareness and sensitivity 
for sanitation workers safety among citizens
Discrimination
 
in society
Lower Literacy levels 
and lack of opportunities for skill enhancement
 
Economic and financial:
Lack of skilling and alternate livelihoods
 
opportunities
Financial indebtedness
 
Lack of Transparency:
Poor contractual mechanisms 
and lack of SOPs in local governments
Lack of convergence 
amongst stakeholders for enforcement
 
Occupational Hazards and Health Issues:
Insufficient health and safety measures 
leading to injury, infection, eye sight,
skin & respiratory diseases, mental health issues and death even before
reaching the age of retirement
Intolerable working environment 
leading to substance abuse
Social Issues
Economic and
financial Issues
Lack of
Transparency
Occupational
Hazards and Health
Issues
Role of ULBs in Implementation of NAMASTE
Formation of self help groups (SHG)  of SSWs for sanitation related livelihood activities
Profiling of SSWs engaged by ULBs, parastatal agencies, PSSOs, state-level departments, private
contractors through profiling camps
Occupational safety training of SSWs in usage of PPE, safety devices and handling mechanized cleaning
operations
Linkages to social and financial entitlements
Linkages with livelihoods through SUY scheme for procurement of sanitation related machines and
provide continuous work assurance
Profiling Process Flow
Role of ULB in Profiling of SSWs
Organize City-Level NAMASTE Camps for enumeration of SSWs engaged by ULBs, parastatal agencies, PSSOs, state-level
departments and other private contractors
Activities at Pre profiling Stage
Where?
 
Organize profiling camps at ULB
offices (ward/ zonal/ central
offices or at muster station) or
in settlements where majority
of SSWs reside.
When?
 
Schedule camp at a time which
is convenient to the SSWs and
PSSOs
 to attend and does not
impact their wages for the day.
How?
 
Enumeration through NAMASTE Application/Desktop portal
A collated list of SSW engaged 
by ULBs, Parastatal agencies, PSSOs, state-level departments
and other private contractors
Submit 
City Profile 
and Identification of NAMASTE Nodal Officer at city level and Enumerators
(Enumerators can be sanitary inspectors, SBM field level staff with digital literacy )
Training of NAMASTE Nodal Officer and Enumerators
Seek support from State NAMASTE Project Implementation Unit (PIU) to onboard State level
parastatal agencies
Determine the number of camps based on 
population of ULB; extent of sewerage network, and
number of septic tanks and distribution of SSWs in the city.
1 enumerator should survey 10 SSWs per day.
Issue notification for mandatory attendance of SSWs in camp and share it with parastatal
agencies and PSSOs.
Budget of the camp: 
The admissible cost of conducting these camps is Rs.2000 for every 25
SSWs enumerated.

at Pre profiling Stage
Information, Education &
Communication (IEC)
 
Audio announcements, distribution of pamphlets
near settlements, WhatsApp information,
interpersonal communication through sanitation
workers, supervisors, contractors etc.
IEC on  
NAMASTE Scheme benefits for SSWs such as
health insurance, access to soft loans, trainings etc.
IEC on specific information of the date, location, and
timings of the camp.
IEC on document required for camp: 
Aadhaar card or
in the absence of it, any other government
recognized photo ID such as Voter ID, ration card,
PAN card, driving license, bank passbook, caste
certificate, etc.
A profiling camp under ‘NAMASTE’ Scheme will be
organized on [Date] at [Location] by [Name of ULB] for
collecting details of sanitation workers engaged in
cleaning and maintenance of sewer and septic tanks. You
are requested to facilitate all the sanitation workers
engaged with/by you directly or indirectly to the camp and
allow them to attend the camp without cutting their
wages for the day.

Key Takeaways
 
1
 A helpline number 
is incorporated on the first page of the App for technical support.
ULBs should have 
a list of SSWs employed on their payroll, on contract, and those through parastatal bodies and
departments 
before initiating profiling camps so that they can decide on number of enumerators to be trained and
number of camps to be conducted for coverage of all SSWs.
A Demo Video of profiling 
of surveyor about questionnaire and nudges to questions so that they can understand the
process of profilling, validators about error flagging and validation and nudges for error resolution.
 
2
 
3
The ULBs should be encouraged to use the 
mobile version of the App 
instead of desktop for smooth functioning in case
of internet lapses and for the ease of clicking photographs of workers.
 
4
There needs to be 
coordination between Depts
. such as PHED and ULB for conducting camps and the direction should
come from State Nodal NAMASTE Officer in case of those cities whereby, the role of sewer and septic tank maintenance
is divided between ULB and state depts.

  10. PROFILING PROCESS OF SSWs NAMASTE - TSU, UMC

  11. Why Profiling of SSWs? The objective of the profiling camp is to identify Sewer and Septic Tank Workers (SSWs) who directly deal with faecal matter We have the constitutional mandates, legislations, Supreme Court orders and Human Rights Commission Directives Yet, the invisibility of sanitation workers continues Inclusion of sanitation workers is not possible if we do not have a robust database of workers

  12. Challenges of SSWs Social Issues: Lack of identity and formal recognition of sanitation workforce Lack of awareness and sensitivity for sanitation workers safety among citizens Discrimination in society Lower Literacy levels and lack of opportunities for skill enhancement Social Issues Economic and financial Issues Economic and financial: Lack of skilling and alternate livelihoods opportunities Financial indebtedness Lack of Transparency: Poor contractual mechanisms and lack of SOPs in local governments Lack of convergence amongst stakeholders for enforcement Lack of Transparency Occupational Hazards and Health Issues: Insufficient health and safety measures leading to injury, infection, eye sight, skin & respiratory diseases, mental health issues and death even before reaching the age of retirement Intolerable working environment leading to substance abuse Occupational Hazards and Health Issues

  13. Role of ULBs in Implementation of NAMASTE Profiling of SSWs engaged by ULBs, parastatal agencies, PSSOs, state-level departments, private contractors through profiling camps Occupational safety training of SSWs in usage of PPE, safety devices and handling mechanized cleaning operations Formation of self help groups (SHG) of SSWs for sanitation related livelihood activities Linkages to social and financial entitlements Linkages with livelihoods through SUY scheme for procurement of sanitation related machines and provide continuous work assurance

  14. Profiling Process Flow Validation of the Survey By ULB level NAMASTE Nodal Officer (100%) Enumeration of the SSW by enumerators Generating the Unique ID of the SSW Quality Check of the Survey by NSKFDC/PMU

  15. Role of ULB in Profiling of SSWs Organize City-Level NAMASTE Camps for enumeration of SSWs engaged by ULBs, parastatal agencies, PSSOs, state-level departments and other private contractors Activities at Pre profiling Stage How? Where? Enumeration through NAMASTE Application/Desktop portal A collated list of SSW engaged by ULBs, Parastatal agencies, PSSOs, state-level departments and other private contractors Submit City Profile and Identification of NAMASTE Nodal Officer at city level and Enumerators (Enumerators can be sanitary inspectors, SBM field level staff with digital literacy ) Training of NAMASTE Nodal Officer and Enumerators Seek support from State NAMASTE Project Implementation Unit (PIU) to onboard State level parastatal agencies Determine the number of camps based on population of ULB; extent of sewerage network, and number of septic tanks and distribution of SSWs in the city. 1 enumerator should survey 10 SSWs per day. Issue notification for mandatory attendance of SSWs in camp and share it with parastatal agencies and PSSOs. Budget of the camp: The admissible cost of conducting these camps is Rs.2000 for every 25 SSWs enumerated. Organize profiling camps at ULB offices (ward/ zonal/ central offices or at muster station) or in settlements where majority of SSWs reside. When? Schedule camp at a time which is convenient to the SSWs and PSSOs to attend and does not impact their wages for the day.

  19. Role of ULB in Profiling of SSW On the Day of the Camp Readiness for the camp as per checklist ULB has to fulfill the criterias of the checklist before the commencement of profiling camp. Arrangement of adequate infrastructure Internet connectivity Electricity connection and charging points for mobile phones and desktops/laptops Web-cams for desktop; document scanner for uploading documents and images on the NAMASTE web portal Seating arrangements for enumerators and the SSWs Provide refreshments (such as drinking water, tea/ coffee, etc.) for the SSWs and camp staff. Basic amenities: Access to toilets, shade, fans etc. Trained surveyors equipped with android mobiles or Windows-based PCs with created and tested user IDs as per checklist.

  20. Role of ULB in Profiling of SSW On the Day of the Camp Ensure that enumerators follow guidelines for facial image capture of the SSWs. Display informative IEC materials to educate SSWs about the NAMASTE scheme, their rights, and available entitlements. Counters to be set up at the Camp Registration Counter Survey Counter ULB may facilitate bank kiosks for opening bank accounts or Aadhaar centers for facilitating Aadhaar Updation, etc.

  21. Role of ULB in Profiling of SSW Activities at the Profiling Stage Document Verification Counter Bank Account Opening Desk Enumeration Counters ID card distribution to the identified sanitation workers

  22. Role of ULB in Profiling of SSW Activities at Post- Profiling Stage ULB NAMASTE Nodal officer should submit Work Completion Certificate after organizing camps to claim reimbursement of up to INR 2,000 per 25 SSWs profiled on the NAMASTE MIS Maintain a camp report Including venue, date, time, number of counters, and the list of attending SSW. Submit video footage and photos of the camp to NSKFDC through email at nskfdc-msje@nic.in .

  23. Pilot Profiling Camps NAMASTE - TSU, UMC

  24. Pilot Profiling Camps 8 Pilot Cities 112 Total surveys conducted Dharamshala Municipal Corporation Ghaziabad Nagar Nigam Delhi Jal Board, Dwarka PHED, Pataudi Total no. of SSWs Validated : 9 Number of SSWs engaged in emptying of Septic tank Gurugram Municipal Corporation Sanand Nagar Pallika : 59 Number of SSWs engaged in Sewer line cleaning and maintenance Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation Guwahati Municipal Corporation : 67

  25. Pilot Profiling Camps

  26. Key Takeaways 1 A helpline number is incorporated on the first page of the App for technical support. ULBs should have a list of SSWs employed on their payroll, on contract, and those through parastatal bodies and 2 departments before initiating profiling camps so that they can decide on number of enumerators to be trained and number of camps to be conducted for coverage of all SSWs. A Demo Video of profiling of surveyor about questionnaire and nudges to questions so that they can understand the 3 process of profilling, validators about error flagging and validation and nudges for error resolution. The ULBs should be encouraged to use the mobile version of the App instead of desktop for smooth functioning in case 4 of internet lapses and for the ease of clicking photographs of workers. There needs to be coordination between Depts. such as PHED and ULB for conducting camps and the direction should 5 come from State Nodal NAMASTE Officer in case of those cities whereby, the role of sewer and septic tank maintenance is divided between ULB and state depts.
