Working conditions and quality of work life paradigms on BBMP Pourakarmikas: Its implications

Modern research has shown that stress management has emerged as one of the most important ideas in the workplace. Because Pourakarmikas struggle to strike a balance between their personal and professional life, it is also evident that working efficiency has decreased to some extent. Due to this distinction, the relevant authorities have developed such policies that result in higher job performance and, as a result, job satisfaction as well as employee satisfaction. This level of contentment is known as QUALITY OF WORK LIFE. A procedure that allows employees at all levels of an organisation to actively and successfully influence the organisational environment, processes, and results is known as quality of work life. This study focuses on the intangible aspects of QWL, including its essential components such as job security, job performance, employee satisfaction, etc. Hours of labour in unsanitary circumstances on the roads with no amenities or restrooms are performed by Pourakarmikas for a small and frequently inconsistent wage. Yet they continue to toil away at their job for years. Residents of Bengaluru who have lived there for years or generations refuse to physically gather garbage.

These jobs are given to marginalised communities from outside Bengaluru. In fact, Bengaluru exploits these underprivileged individuals by failing to provide them with alternative employment opportunities. They continue to toil in sanitation tasks like cleaning septic tanks, public restrooms, or rubbish collection because of this. The current study analyses the circumstances that the Pourakarmikas in Bangalore City are put through. It reflects on the Pourakarmikas' factual information in the context of Bangalore City.
