I bookmarked your site i will be back to check it out some more later.Great Site keep doing.
Great information! I’ve been looking for something like this for a while now. Thanks!
nice post. thanks.
nice site….good doin!
Its not good to know that still we have lots of slum area.
It is so sad that the indian government does nothing to erraticate this situation in the 21st century, and what is ‘open -defacation’? is it going to bathroom in the public? that is so yucky…why dont the people that live there clean up their area? like the trash around their shanties? so sad
It IS good to know about the slums. The slums are not good, but knowledge/awareness of them is necessary in order to eradicate them.
How many people live in slums in india all together?
Well the population is huge,In every metro city 1/3rd peoples are lived in slums.
Good info ! But Sad
iam doing a project on slum areas very sad to see their misieres of their lives:-(
Dear Nazir, Give me the list list of areas .
Gov. should do something for this. Nice posts..
ther is no wards me to tell about them …………….but one day
research of slum
i am shocked, this is appalling and inhumane , these people deserve so much better. The government and ridiculously greedy multi-billionaires in this country should be made cough up some of their cash to build decent hygenic towns for these destitute people. it is atrocious they should be left to survive this way. I live in Australia, our government provides lovely houses for the poor, and regular welfare payments. These godforsaken people in slums should be taken care of by their own government , and the excessively rich made chip in, as their contribution to charity for their fellow citizens. I am so angry and saddened !!
Beneficial info and excellent design you got here! I want to thank you for sharing your ideas and putting the time into the stuff you publish! Great work!
I GOT A GREAT AND USEFUL INFORMATION
What a great resource!
You seem to know a lot about this. This is good blog. A great read. I’ll certainly be back.
I’d come to agree with you one this subject. Which is not something I usually do! I really like reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to speak my mind!
Any update on this ? Excellent information keep it up!
Think about INDIA
Its vry gud site… But u sud focus on its promotion so that our government… Come to know abt these slums n try to do sumthing for all these slum dwellers… Kapascera gaaw in delhi is another large slum existing in the capital city of India.
Guys u need to update info….Parivartan Slum Ahmadabad has been removed and u should know that many more slums in ahmedabad has been removed….
Its good to know, these slums have been removed. Thanks for update Rushabh.
I am from Hyderabad , i think Hyderabad has a very less slums compared to other cities..well….I have been searching for the same and i got a very useful info…thanks for your efforts.
This is really bad, one side the country is growing rapidly but most of people who develop the country only make slums like this because they care about only them they do not care about the people because many people in india only have more “BLACK MONEY” one session say that india is the fast growing county BUT another session say that more than $4 billion money in the “SWISS BANK” have been from INDIA.(a person from another country).
Dont think only about your city think about your country(a person from another country).
I am from uttrakhad……i really want do something for slum areas people.
Hi Kiran,
Its really so great that you want to do something for slum people, Start with your area help them by food, education and job.
In Bangalore less then 10% people live in slums because of high cost of living. Even local students have to work to pay for their tutions/Education.Labor work is very cheap here, any from Engineer to government officers are paid less in Karnataka compared to other states. Every year 5lackh people come here , any place is more than 30 KM.
Tears in my eye
try to think and do something to change the current situation…feeling sad is not enough..
Its really sad to see the slum face of our so called ‘technologically advanced’ India of 21st century. Its sadder that these people r not getting chances to improve their standard of living. Rather they r humiliated very inhumanly by the so called educated people like us. CAN WE REALLY SAY…… ‘SAARE JAHAN SE ACHHA , HINDUSTAN HAMARA’ ?
Hi Samant very well said, poor are still poor and rich people are getting more rich, no change in poverty. that’s the real face.

kithe ki bache pade hai sir jaaa kar dekho bheeek maang rahe hai
assume information regarding hw backward we arenw………………….we should feel ashame by seeing this in our country
why can’t these people work and earn for their life
There are hundreds of thousands of them who flood the major cities in search for work. Do you have hundreds of thousands of jobs laying around? After they cannot find work … you can see from the pictures. With conditions like these and with such little to live on, where do you suggest they go to for work?
its really very sad , how many people are suffering from this type of condition , its too rediculous , its a shame for our govt , when will be our country get rid of these situation , we really want to do some thing but we can not do and people who can do , they dont want to do , ….in the slum areas mostly children are affected by illitration , hunger , child labour , prostitution ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,what the future of these children , plz think plz think ,plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Well said here: We really want to do some thing but we can’t do and people who can do , they dont want to do. Unfortunately it’s a fact and real India.
Yes sir , its true , because we do only the efforts which in our hand , we earn limited but our little efforts like some clothes , food , toys we can serve only aur yehi humko sakoon bhi deta hai ,,,,,but in large scale we can only feel the pain and tear of others but helpless . its a curse for india ……. if every person will do small efforts for other and feel others sorrow , tears , pain ,,,, bahut kuch sudher sekta hai , because we are the part of crowd and crowd is dirty … politians , stars , celebrities , baba log –if they want to do ,,,bahut sari problems ruk sakti hai lakin inko time hi kehan hai ………………………………..
GOD plz save the little poor children , poor people.
it is wrong saz
one single hand is enough to eradicate the poverty
May be in logo ki duniya hi yehi tak hai , bilkul simti hui , yeh is duniya se aage shayed hi kabhi nikal paayenge , inki generation yehi per shuru hoti hai aur yehi per khatam ho jati hai , Govt and ngo’s has to take very strong step to remove this curse from india , it will take too long time , but be an indian if every responsible person think and do heartly , everything is possible. people of slum areas they also should be wake up and aware and think possitivly ,
this is too bad guys, we have to think about it,after all they all also human beings & they definetely having some talent,which can’t be nourish in this env so guys those wanted to eliminate this please contact .i want to cooperate as much as possible
i have a plan
r u ready
start from delhi
All commntetor should make plan how to rehabit our brothers/sisters who have no single cottage.
media should expose this matter.
This is just because of government failure to upgrade rural india in true sense…as most of these people are from rural part in search of job and better life..Congress Govt has failed for the last 60 years,…but due we really have alternative?
Yeah i also feel bad of our country .

Dharavi,Mumbai reconstruction plan(cost-2 billion $) for 1 million people(Project pending) & Mukesh Ambani’s new home Antilla,Mumbai(cost-1.8 billion $) for 1 family (project completed).
Rich people and Poor people no comparison in India. Shame.
It is not about rich people and poor people…it is about corrupt political class and their dictatorship in name of democracy. As per rich people, India need them as 30-40% of their direct income is taken as income tax by the GOI and a lot of indirect money is spent on a large section of population.
Not Same He’s doing work hard, and those people live in slum in India mostly Bangladeshi Immigrants. or T people didn’t born there
poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
China was poorer than India 35 years ago. Modi can do it so give him a chance. China will help in any way it can.
The photo labelled “Mehbullahpur Slum Lucknow” is actually a street scene in Dharavi’s 13th Compound.
Thanks, will update.
