In India, about one billion people live in slums, and the number of slum dwellers is likely to rise in the next decades. Slums have grown in every city and town, not just in India, as a result of rapid urbanization and increased migration from rural areas. Cities are a result of fundamental societal changes that contribute to socio-economic development and modernization. These slum pockets require essential utilities such as water, electricity, rubbish collection, street lighting, storm drainage, housing, and emergency access routes, among other things. The strategies and goals for improving slum conditions evolve and change, and new initiatives are developed based on experience gained from the implementation of numerous programs. The focus of the study will be on how the government aids disadvantaged urban inhabitants in promoting economic possibilities by providing them with education, skills, and good health.
