SLUM!!!

While India’s economy continues to boom since the last so many decades it’s 360 million poorest citizens remain among those living in some of the most dilapidated conditions in the world. The slums have become the indispensable and dark side of our country, which we can’t boast of.

 

 Slum can be defined as 'A residential area where dwellings are unfit for human habitation by reasons of dilapidation,overcrowding,lack of sanitation facility and having drinking water facilities in unhygienic conditions'.

                     

The problems faced by people living in slum areas:

1. Garbage

 We could see dumps of garbage everywhere. The dumped waste produces foul odor and at the same time becomes breeding ground for flies and mosquitoes which carry several diseases with them.

 

 

2. Miserable Condition of Toilets

 The community toilets were in pathetic conditions. Plenty of them had no doors and the ones that had doors had no latches.

3.Public Park used as dump yard

  It was a piece of a barren land filled with water and garbage everywhere.

 

 

4.Poor condition of house

 
It’s difficult to even imagine the living conditions of the house. Six to eight people share a room. 

 

 

 

5. Bad quality of education system  

Slum children have little chance of pre-school provision which would help build school readiness .

 

 6. Unhygienic drinking water or water issues

Sufficient water is not available to complete peoples needs.
