Delegates to the Akhila Bharat Dalit Sahitya Sammelan passed a resolution demanding a complete ban on manual scavenging across the country.
The resolution demanded that the Union and State governments make it mandatory for all government and private agencies and individuals not to hire any human being for scavenging work but to use machines instead.
The other resolutions include setting up a Dalit Sahitya Development Authority and a Dr. Ambedkar Sahitya Academy, ensuring permanent financial aid to the Dalit Sahitya Parishat and leading to the establishment of a Neo-Buddhist Development Board.
