Topic:- Slum Problem In India

Introduction
One of a person's fundamental needs is a place to live. If
there isn't enough planned housing, people are compelled to live
in filthy, decaying homes that even lack the most basic
infrastructure. This kind of behavior results in the development
of slums, which are densely inhabited metropolitan informal
settlements with subpar housing, poor sanitation, and squalor.
India is experiencing rapid urbanization, which is driving large
populations into the cities due to the economic vitality of these
areas, which provide a variety of employment options and
means of subsistence. Concurrent migration has caused rural
poverty to migrate to urban regions. Despite the fact that the
physical infrastructure in terms of housing, drinking water
supply, drainage, etc. is inferior to their affordability in the
cities, rural migrants are drawn to urban regions for economic
reasons. The physical environment of cities has gotten worse as
a result of excessive demand for fundamental amenities, which
has severely harmed planned urbanization. As a result of the
ongoing influx of migrants and the resulting widening of the gap
between supply and demand for basic services and other
infrastructure in these areas, the quality of life has deteriorated.
Research questions

1.What are the main causes of the growth and persistence of

slums in urban areas of India, and how have these causes
changed over time?
2.How do slum residents in India cope with poor living
conditions, lack of access to basic services, and discrimination,
and what strategies do they use to improve their situations?
3.What are the economic and social costs of slums to both
individuals and society in India, and how can these costs be
measured and mitigated?
4.What are the most effective policy interventions that have
been implemented in India to address slum problems, and how
can these be scaled up or replicated in other contexts?
5.How can community-based approaches to slum redevelopment
and urban planning be used to empower slum residents and
ensure that their needs and perspectives are taken into account?
6.What are the ethical and human rights implications of slum
conditions in India, and how can these be addressed by
policymakers, civil society organizations, and other
stakeholders?
Research objective

1. To identify the key drivers and historical factors that have

contributed to the growth and persistence of slums in urban
areas of India.
2. To understand the coping strategies and resilience of slum
residents in India, and explore how these can inform more
effective policy interventions.
3. To quantify the economic and social costs of slums in
India, including their impact on health, education, and
economic opportunities, and evaluate the effectiveness of
current policy interventions in addressing these costs.
4. To analyze the most successful policy interventions and
community-based approaches that have been implemented
in India to address slum problems, and assess their potential
for replication in other contexts.

slum conditions in India, and evaluate the effectiveness of
policy and advocacy efforts aimed at addressing these
issues.
