Chennai: Reckitt, world’s leading consumer Health and Hygiene Company, along with its partner Jagran Pehel is all set to expand presence for Harpic World Toilet College by setting up colleges in 5 Indian states, including Punjab, Uttarakhand, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh, apart from the existing centre in Aurangabad, Maharashtra.
Through this expansion, the college aims to empower and equip 7,000 sanitation workers in 1 year to lead dignified and healthy lives. The training that they receive at the college equips them with the right knowledge and skills, giving them practical trainings on using machines, prevention strategies, understanding their rights and entitlements which enables them to secure jobs in reputed and recognised global, national, and local organizations. As a part of the initiative, the college will also be providing support to 50 Self Help Groups who will work in creating last-mile awareness. These groups will be aligned with Micro Finance Institutions and will be provided strategic support for a possible cooperative model for them. The main aim of Harpic World Toilet College is to help sanitation workers lead dignified lives by providing opportunities for alternate livelihoods through a robust and comprehensive trainings and post placement support.
There is a dire need to safeguard and uplift sanitation workers in India, given the severe financial, social, and health challenges that they face. According to a report ‘Sanitation worker safety and livelihoods in India’ by Dalberg there are 5 million (approx.) full-time equivalents of sanitation workers in India, they vary by risk to exposure and policy recognition. 1 million out of these are in urban areas, working for drain and community cleaning, and 600 thousand engage in toilet cleaning.
