Naseeb Kumar Bhagat, Dr. Piyush Malaviya

Abstract :

Every year there is influx of migration from rural areas to urban areas in search of better income and comfort. Migration may be inter state or intra state. It includes both skilled workers such as painter, carpenter, cobbler, masons etc. while unskilled include labourers. Along with these migrants there is transfer of poverty from rural areas to urban areas. Both the push and pull factors are equally responsible for urbanization. The primary concern of these jobless poor is of employment. The only amenity they need is place to sleep. They often select place which is near to their job market and saves transport costs. Due to high cost of land in metropolitan cities they cannot afford a piece of land as the result of which they often select neglected areas or open space available along sewage drain, roadside, railway tracks, unstable slopes and form slum there. Generally, these locations are in the area which is unfit for human habitation. In the present paper review on social and environmental aspect of slum dwellers is taken into consideration.
