The state of Bihar, under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, has announced the formation of the Bihar Rajya Safai Karmachari Ayog (Bihar State Sanitation Workers Commission). This commission aims to address the welfare, rights, and rehabilitation of sanitation workers across the state. It will comprise a chairperson, a vice-chairperson, and five members, including a representative who is either a woman or a transgender person, reflecting a strong focus on inclusivity. The initiative seeks to ensure the implementation of welfare schemes, offer grievance redressal, and promote the social and economic upliftment of sanitation workers, especially those from marginalised communities.
