Abstract

The occupational structure of people involved in various traditional occupations and works in India has been a vital point of discussion for decades and centuries. The paper is out of the study on the clean India mission and how people involved in various jobs that remained their traditional occupation even after significant policy initiatives by the government of India across the country. Is caste more powerful by not allowing people to escape their caste-based occupations or their inability to rehabilitate to other new works in cities? Hope to reduce the human hands from menial jobs is one objective of the clean India Mission that demands a macro study to understand the current sociological relevance of the policy.
