 STREET CHILDREN IN DELHI

WHY DELHI?

The city has the maximum number of street children .

According to Indian Embassy figures, there are 3,14,700 children living on the streets of Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Kanpur, Bangalore and Hyderabad, and
another 1, 00,000 live in New Delhi; however, these numbers may not reflect the true picture, as accurate census information is difficult to collect According
to Survey by Save The Children, India The National capital is home to over 50,000 street children constituting 0.4 %of Delhi's population and 1% of the
total number of children here. Delhi's underbelly: '80% kids forced into begging by parents'

DELHI : Instead of spending their time studying like other kids their
age, these children have been forced to take to begging or odd jobs
after their parents lost their employment following the Covid-induced
lockdown. On International Day for Street Children, kids between ages
11 and 14 spoke about how they struggled to survive and felt
neglected.

There are varying estimates of the number and population of slums in the city, largely reflecting differences in the criteria used to determine a slum. The Delhi
Urban Shelter and Improvement Board also gives a ballpark figure of 3 million people living in 600,000 households in urban slums. On the other hand, the
Delhi Human Development Report (2006) provides a much higher estimate of 45 percent of the city’s population residing in slums that include informal
settlements – squatter settlements and illegal sub-divisions as well as unauthorized colonies.
