Life in a Slum. Wanna Experience it?




The parts of the cities, where these slums are located, are congested, as they are over populated. The conditions of the slum areas in metropolitan cities have deteriorated to such an extent due to the high density of population that the people there hardly enjoy even the basic amenities. The lanes are narrow and the houses are nothing but a single room tenement without the facilities of an open courtyard or an enclosure, thus depriving the people of natural gifts like sunshine and air.



Living conditions in many urban slums are worse than those in the poorest rural areas of the country. This can be attributed pardy to the slum’s exceptionally unhealthy environment. Many of the most serious diseases in cities are ‘environmental’ because they are transmitted through air, water, soil and food or through insect or animal vectors.



 In Mumbai for example, the slum dwellers account for 50% of the population but they occupy only 6% of the city’s land area. Delhi has the third largest slum population in the nation lodges 35 lakh people in 1000 slums.



The main objective of slum upgrading is to alleviate the poor living standards of slum dwellers. They point to the difficulties in providing the necessary resources either in a way that is beneficial to the slum-dwellers.



Government is to provide affordable ‘Housing for All’ urban poor and slum dwellers in India
Government has given its approval for the launch of the ‘Housing for All by 2022’ scheme paving the way for affordable homes to the urban poor and slum dwellers at low interest rates.



Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi accepted the recommendations of an Inter-Ministerial Committee to increase interest subvention to 6.50 per cent on housing loans to beneficiaries belonging to economic weaker section (EWS) including slum-dwellers and low income groups (LIGs).



The Cabinet’s decision will benefit the urban poor by an amount of nearly Rs 2.30 lakh each.
Efforts done by government and many NGOs are appreciable but the thing to be noted is how much is it improving the status and at what speed.



Everything is happening just to say , in reality slums still exist and in a large number.
Betterment is possible only when we, the normal people will start taking  initiative to raise our society and make it a better place to live for all. Stop being selfish and helping others without any greed . They need economic and developmental help from government with all the human rights like any other person.

Harassment By Men On Women Hey guys! Welcome to Indian Wrines. My name is Siddhant Lavania. Today I just wanted to share a true story, a real life experience with everyone reading this. A situation happened with me a day back. I am going to tell you what exactly happened. I have also asked in the end if I did the right thing in that situation. Please do let me know in the comments and yea do Subscribe to this blog, Indian Wrines. So the previous day, my mom asked me to bring some vegetables from the market and just like every other Indian mom, dhaniya (Corriander) and hari mirchi (Green Spice) were specially mentioned to me. So, I went on my scooty but while I was coming back from the market, I got stuck in traffic. It was day time. Generally I don't see so much traffic here in day time. I really didn't know why there was so much of congestion. There is also a small village near our locality. A road passes through that village which connect to my home, basically a sh

Mother: A Saviour Even After Death Ashutosh, a 20-year-old, lived in Delhi, India. His mother was a businesswoman. She was falsely accused under the section 420, which led to a heart attack when she got the orders. Unfortunately, she died. It was a coincident or what to say but she died at 4:20 in evening. Ashutosh was obviously depressed about his mother’s death, he hated this hour of the day, 4:20. People were back bitching about his mother’s death timing. “How can she die exactly at 4:20, for sure she did something wrong and it is a sign from the god”, said a lady to her friend. Ashutosh ignored all of this. He trusted her mother. But Ashutosh lost his vision of life after his mother’s death. He shifted to Mumbai with his dad. A 20-year-old boy, the year when you decide your career, he lost his vision of life. He had no aims in life. It wasn’t him, but the days were running his life. He had no one to talk too. It wasn’t like people hated him, but who wants to

Indian Roads and Its Messiah Who do you think we going to talk about today? Yaa obviously about the Messiah (in the picture above) as mentioned in the title. But not just any Messiah, It is THE MESSIAH OF INDIAN ROADS!! Why do I call them the Messiah of Indian Roads? Okay, read further to know why- It was a family function that we (my family) had to go. Now although a family function but it was at an unknown place to us (my family). But we thought Google Maps will come to our rescue. WE THOUGHT (And just to inform you all in our family no one has more than a 3g network on their phone). My family is served by Wi-Fi and we have no relationship with internet once we get out of our house (If our 2G-3G network works then the story is ‘SLOWLY’ different). So we had a belief that Google Maps will help us. So we took on the roads for the trip, started our GPS, worked pretty well in the beginning until we got out of our society. After that, it showed its true c
