Why this exists

India's sanitation knowledge is scattered — SOPs, model contracts, training material, and evidence sit in different departments, cities, and organisations, often as unindexed PDFs no one can find when they need them most.

sanitationworkers.in brings verified resources together in one searchable, AI-guided hub — so a city official, a practitioner, or a researcher can find the exact SOP, contract, or case study they need, in minutes.

How it helps

Ask a plain-language question and get an answer grounded only in verified sources — with every claim traceable to the exact SOP, contract, video, case study, or report it came from. Search results stay visible alongside every AI answer, so you're never dependent on the model alone.

Practical tools for real work: procurement-ready model contracts, field SOPs, training material, and the policy evidence to back a decision.

Help keep the hub current

Have an SOP, model contract, case study, or training resource worth sharing? Contribute it for review — your submission helps the next city, practitioner, or researcher find what they need faster.
