Which means that the number of manual scavengers is very low in Gujarat !
But.......like Kerala, does it mean that open defecation is absent in Gujarat ??
As per the NSSO survey in 2015, 49 % (nearly half) of the entire population of Gujarat defecates in the open ! Whereas just 1.4 % of the total Kerala population does so !
If a similar map were to be drawn about open defecation, Gujarat would be dark red in colour compared to very pale yellow for Kerala !
Which further means that Gujaratis defecate and leave their excreta in the open for the sun, rain and wind to dispose it off !

Do you mean to believe this data. If there is no rcruitment in scavenging in municipal/punchayat offices and construction of dry latrines are not done, it would be zero.
The states which have more number of villages - living in poverty - lesser knowledge in hygiene used to have more.

Only Dalit works in this profession and no forward (manu) cast. By the way, out of 70 years 15 years are ruled by non-congress. In few states, congress not even rules 50% but still situation is same. Please come out from false propaganda strategy of pheku.
As Indian I too totally agree manual scavenging is SHAME BUT Is India is at the level of TOTAL BANNING There is Law WHAT ABOUT SOCIO ECONOMIC & POLITICAL COMMITMENT. Is Mechanized equipment's are available for total banning ???
I strongly suggest till WE WANT SAFE METHOD TO HANDLE THIS OPERATION i.e. Technology, Mi Manual intervention, Personnel Protective equipment stand by duty of FIRE & EMERGENCIES Planned drainage System , above all PREVENTION & CONTROL OF INJURIES ^ DEATH WHILE CARRING THIS OPERATION MAY I SUGGEST SLIGHT AMENDMENT IN THIS REGARD TILL WE REACH FINAL STAGE PLEASE COMMENT PLEASE ???
