HUDCO & Jaipur Greater Nagar Nigam Launch Super Sucker Machine to Combat Manual Scavenging
Jaipur, April 6, 2026 – In a decisive move to promote mechanized sanitation and uphold the dignity of sanitation workers, the Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO), in collaboration with Nagar Nigam Jaipur Greater, has officially deployed a Super Sucker Machine and an integrated Dump Tank System.
This initiative, funded under HUDCO’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, marks a transformative milestone for urban waste management in the Pink City. By introducing advanced mechanized cleaning technology, the collaboration aims to completely eliminate the hazardous practice of manual scavenging—a deep-rooted social issue that the Government of India has been actively working to end through initiatives like the NAMASTE (National Action for Mechanised Sanitation Ecosystem) program .
Enhancing Worker Safety and Dignity
The newly deployed Super Sucker Machine is designed to efficiently clean sewers and septic tanks without requiring human entry into dangerous manholes. This technology not only enhances operational efficiency but also prioritizes the safety and health of sanitation workers, who have historically faced life-threatening conditions .
"This transformative step is more than just an infrastructure upgrade; it is a reinforcement of our mission to ensure dignity and safety for every sanitation worker," stated an official representative from HUDCO. "By mechanizing these critical but hazardous tasks, we are building a system that respects the workforce while maintaining a cleaner city."
Strengthening Integrated Waste Management
Beyond safety, the Dump Tank System will streamline the waste transport and treatment process, creating a more integrated and efficient loop for urban sanitation. This aligns with the broader goals of the Swachh Bharat Mission and Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), which focuses on clean water and sanitation for all .
A Pathway to an Inclusive Urban Future
This initiative is part of HUDCO’s larger vision to build pathways toward a cleaner, healthier, and more inclusive urban future. By driving change where it matters most—at the ground level of sanitation infrastructure—the organization is setting a benchmark for other urban local bodies across the country.
The collaboration with Nagar Nigam Jaipur Greater demonstrates how public sector enterprises and civic bodies can work together to solve systemic social challenges, ensuring that no worker has to risk their life for the city's cleanliness.
