National Safai Karmachari Finance & Development Corporation (NSKFDC)
<http://nskfdc.nic.in/> has decided to include wastepickers as target group
for providing financing and self-development skills. This decision was
taken on the direction of Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment
(MoSJE).

On 1st June, 2016, Ms. Anita Agnihotri, Secretary, MoSJE met the
representatives of Alliance of Indian wastepickers, a national coalition of
wastepickers organizations, in Delhi. An idea of including wastepickers in
the financing and self-development schemes extended to Safai Karmacharis
(sanitary/health workers) by the Ministry was floated. Following the
workshop, alliance members and representatives of MoSJE and later, NSKFDC
interacted continuously with discussion on inclusion. References to Solid
