    National Action Plan for Mechanised Sanitation Ecosystem (NAMASTE) Scheme The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment (MoSJ&E) is preparing to undertake a nationwide survey to enumerate all Sanitation workers engaged in cleaning of sewers and septic tanks. The enumeration exercise is part of the National Action Plan for Mechanised Sanitation Ecosystem (NAMASTE) Scheme and will be conducted across 500 AMRUT (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation) cities. It will merge with and replace the Self-Employment Scheme for the Rehabilitation of Manual Scavengers (SRMS), which was started in 2007. NAMASTE Portal developed by the Ministry of AYUSH, in Oct. 2017, provides information about standardised terminologies & morbidity codes along with a dedicated data entry module for updating morbidity statistics in considerate form as well as on a real time basis.
