The catastrophe that the Covid-19 pandemic brought along, had wreaked havoc in the lives of people all over the world. From the businesses shutting down, the education system shifting online and the whole of humanity being locked behind closed doors, the world witnessed a one-of-a-kind environment in the past one and a half years. It was during this time that not only the medical practitioners but also all the essential workers came together and led the fight against the deadly virus. These frontline workers stayed on their toes without taking a beat only to ensure that the general public could lead a safe life.

These workmen who during the course of the pandemic were designated as the frontline warriors also included all the Safai Karamcharis, from sanitation workers, cleaners and sweepers, house help, to all the ones who provided the essential services in times of need. In order to give these frontline workers the honor and recognition they deserved, Vishal Gupta, the founder of Shiiiva Group came forward with an exemplary song 'Safai Karamchari', effectively paying a tribute to all those who had put their lives in danger just to safeguard others during the global Pandemic.

Hailing from a small village near the international borders of the country, Vishal Gupta has seen a side of frontline workers like no one else did. He brought forth this song so that the world could acknowledge the relentless efforts these Safai Karamcharis had put in despite being unaware of many of the protocols that came with the virus. He dedicated the song to their life and describes the struggle and hard work they put in to help us live under hygienic conditions wherever we travel. Crediting their efforts of keeping the streets, hospitals and even the homes clean, Safai Karamcharis have to be recognised and applauded across the world so that they feel the importance of their existence and see the respect that individuals hold for them for all their striving.
