"In India, over 30 per cent of the total population lives below the
poverty line. Such a high degree of poverty highlights a serious
dimension of the country s urban scenario also. The insufficient
employment opportunities and poor income levels add to the miseries
of the urban poor. They live in sub-standard settlements like
slums, unauthorized colonies, squatters, pavements, resettlement
colonies, etc. These settlements are considered to be the most
filthiest in the world. Taking a serious note of the growing urban
poverty, the Government of India spent hundreds of crores of rupees
on implementing various schemes and programmes with no significant
result. Urban poverty continues to be an area of major concern and
unbeatable challenge. It was against this backdrop, experts working
on different aspects of urban poverty were approached to contribute
articles expressing their views and giving their first-hand
experiences. The reading of this volume can be immensely useful to
professionals, government officials, activists etc., who are
involved in poverty alleviation programmes."
