In Slum….
Slum Literacy Rate in Delhi & Ahmedabad Lower than Literacy Rate for Rural Areas
DEFINITION OF SLUM• According to UN. Report: “Slum is a building , group of
buildings or are characterized by overcrowding, deterioration, insanitary conditions or absence of facilities and amenities which, because of these conditions or any of them endanger the health, safety or Morales of its inhabitants or community
• A slum , as defined by the UN-HABITAT , is a run-down area of a city characterized by substandard housing and squalor and lacking in tenure security
• NBO – a compact area / cluster of dwelling units poorly built with inadequate / improper basic amenities such as sanitation, drinking water, and unhygienic conditions is considered as slum
Slum is based solely on socio-economic criteria, not on racial, ethnic, or religious criteria
Slums are Characterized by
Poverty and Unemployment Crime, Drug addiction, Alcoholism,
Informal EconomyInformal Economy
Mental illness, Suicide, Disease Garbage
If you don’t deal constructively with the Slum/Poor, they are going to deal Destructively with cities
• President’s Pronouncement on June 4, 2009:“My Government proposes to introduce a Rajiv Awas Yojana for the slum dwellers and the urban poor on the lines of the Indira Awas Yojana for the rural poor. The schemes for affordable housing through partnership and the scheme for interest subsidy for urban housing would be dovetailed into the Rajiv Awas Yojana which would extend support under JNNURM to States that are willing to assign property rights to people living in slum areas. My Government’s effort would be to create a slum free India in five years through the Rajiv Awas Yojana.”
• Prime Minister’s Address on August 15, 2009:“Today, lakhs of our citizens live in slums which lack basic amenities. We wish to make our country slum-free as early as possible. In the next 5 years, we will provide better housing facilities to slum-dwellers through a new scheme, Rajiv Awas Yojana.”

stakeholders.
To Explain
• Objective of USHA • Methodology of survey• Scope• Formation of Nodal Committee• Community involvement• Roles of each stakeholder• Conduct of survey, monitoring – issues like
ownership of house, monthly income• Compilation and Computerization
Step II
• After entry into Slum – Rapport Building
• Team members to meet important persons – Councillors, School/College

• Methodology and scope
• Issues on which the poor entertain doubts – monthly income/debt burden/house ownership etc
• Take their consent and time for conduct of survey
• Slum profile can be filled up in the presence of all
Step V
• Mapping of households and other buildings.
• Identify each household on the map provided with a serial number assigned there and then
• If slum is too big, slum may be divided into convenient parts
• This exercise helps in identifying every household and also get broad information on all households which might be missed in individual house visits
Step VI
Conduct of survey
• Visit each house as identified in Mapping Exercise
• Read every item and explain to them as you ascertain information from them – one enumerator elicits information without paper and pen while another does the documentation
