    Solution

     'Swachhata Pakhwada - Swachhata Hi Sewa 2023,' is presently in full swing across the country. States are actively participating in extensive cleanliness campaigns at hill stations, tourist destinations, and beaches. Under the Swachhata Pakhwada initiative, 'SafaiMitra Suraksha Shivirs' are being organized by various cities nationwide.  The primary objective is to provide welfare schemes for sanitation workers and their dependents, with a focus on improving their overall well-being and quality of life. Recently, Chandigarh conducted a four-day camp, the 'Safaimitra Suraksha Shivir,’. During the camp, nearly 1,300 SafaiMitras have been enrolled in various government schemes including Ayushman Bharat, Atal Pension Yojana, Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana and Suraksha Bima Yojana, offering comprehensive insurance against accidents and disabilities. Furthermore, numerous family members of SafaiMitras opened new bank accounts and benefited from the integrated insurance offerings. In a proactive move to enhance the well-being and working conditions of its SafaiMitras, the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh inaugurated a state-of-the-art ‘Sanitation Booth’ in the village Sarangpur. This modern facility provides a safe and healthy environment for SafaiMitras to carry out their routine work.
