Abstract


The making of slum-free India has faced with various challenges over the years. The disparity in urban India, particularly in slums are glaring. The access to basic amenities is undisputable for an appreciable quality of life. Current study highlights the urgent need for providing basic amenities in slums. And by comparing statistics and findings in cities of Hyderabad and Jaipur lacunas emerges in the availability of basic amenities to the most marginalised in slums of urban India. The study considers various dimensions as infrastructure, sanitation, women empowerment & environmental care in slums, to give a holistic analysis. Which points to an urgent attention from policy makers to address the accentuating inter and intra city disparities in urban India.
