Guiding Document: POURAKARMIKARA VIRAMA KENDRA

This guiding document is designed to support the Urban Local Bodies in India in understanding the step-by-step process for establishing professional and safe resting spaces for sanitation workers. The Pourakarmikara Virama Kendra is a dedicated facility designed to improve the working conditions of sanitation workers, or Pourakarmikas, across Karnataka. These workers often perform their duties in unsafe and unhygienic environments, lacking access to essential amenities such as clean water, restrooms, and changing rooms. To address these challenges, the Urban Development Department has directed all ULBs in the state to establish these facilities. The Virama Kendra provides sanitation workers with essential services aimed at enhancing their safety and dignity at work. Key features of the facility include access to clean drinking water, hygienic toilets, rest areas, and changing rooms where workers can refresh after their physically demanding tasks. By offering these amenities, the Pourakarmikara Virama Kendras help create a more respectful and supportive work environment, contributing to the overall well-being of sanitation workers. This initiative recognizes their critical role in maintaining public health and strives to offer them a dignified and safer workplace.
