The Bill seeks to prohibit employment of individuals as the manual scavengers, while at the same time providing for the rehabilitation of people involved in this kind of work.
Need for the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Bill, 2012
The need for the new law is there because the existing laws do not prove adequate in elimination of the evils of manual scavenging and insanitary latrines.

What is Manual Scavenging?
Manual Scavenging refers to the process of removal of human waste or excreta from the unsanitary dry toilets that do not have a connection to the sewer system. This practice is primarily archetypical to South Asia.
In the year 1933, legislation was passed in India for banning manual scavenging. However, the legislation was not implemented widely. In February 2013, Delhi became the first state in India to ban manual scavenging.
