The central government has run various schemes for people. Today we are going to discuss that one scheme. A scheme for the poor and sanitation workers of the country was started in 2022 by the Modi government. This scheme is known as Namaste Bharat Yojana. The objective of this welfare scheme is to protect sanitation workers from danger and reduce the number of deaths of labourers while cleaning sewers.

The aim of the Namaste scheme of the Government of India was to provide good facilities to sanitation workers. The scheme aims to protect those who clean sewers and septic tanks.
