| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The number of slums in India are ever increasing. According to the Census Report (2011), the slum population in India comprises of 22.4 million of the population which is 17.36% of the total population of India. One of the major reasons for this ever expanding slum population is the constant process of urbanisation. Urbanisation of the rural dwellers and migration to the cities creates population deletion in rural areas and bulging of the same in the urban areas. |
