 Slum - an urban phenomena INDIA
 Under Section-3 of the Slum Area Improvement and Clearance Act,
1956, slums have been defined as mainly those residential areas
where dwellings are in any respect unfit for human habitation by
reasons of dilapidation, overcrowding, faulty arrangements and
designs of such buildings, narrowness or faulty arrangement of
streets, lack of ventilation, light, sanitation facilities or any
combination of these factors which are detrimental to safety,
health and morals.

 As per UN Habitat a slum is characterized by lack of durable

housing, insufficient living area, lack of access to clean water,
inadequate sanitation and insecure tenure.

 The slum population in India has increased during 2001-11.

Probable reasons for upcoming slums INDIA
 Urbanization

 Industrialization

 Higher productivity in the secondary/tertiary sector against

primary sector makes cities and towns centres of economic growth
and jobs

 Cities act as beacons for the rural population as they represent a

higher standard of living and offer opportunities to people not
available in rural areas. This results in large scale migration from
rural to urban areas.

 Negative consequences of urban pull results in upcoming of slums

characterized by housing shortage and critical inadequacies in
public utilities, overcrowding, unhygienic conditions, etc.
 Slum - Census of India INDIA
Census 2001
 For the first time in Census 2001, slum areas were earmarked
across the country, particularly, in cities and towns having
population of 50,000 or above in 1991 Census.
 Subsequently, the slum data was culled out also for towns with
20,000 to 49,999 population in 2001 and statutory towns having
population less than 50,000 in 1991 but reported more than
50,000 population in 2001 and were not considered for carving
slum EBs earlier.
Census 2011
 Slums have been earmarked in all the statutory towns irrespective
of their population size based on the same definition as in 2001.
 Three types of slums have been defined in Census, namely,
Notified, Recognized and Identified.
