Slums are densely populated informal settlements that lack basic amenities and sanitation. They form due to poverty, lack of opportunities in rural areas, unemployment, and improper government policies. Slums face many problems like lack of hygiene, malnutrition, child abuse, and crime. Around 40 million people in India, or 4% of the population, live in slums, including 5 million children under age 6. Various government initiatives and NGOs aim to rehabilitate slums and provide basic services through programs like JNNURM and SRA. The long term goal is to reduce rural-to-urban migration by improving opportunities and living standards in rural India.
Brief deliberation on the concept of slum and the urban poor! This presentation talks of the slum condition and not particular the type of settlement like squatter or urban village or old city etc.
In over fifty years since independence, India has developed
an extensive public delivery system for the provision of
health care. This was preceded in 1946 by the Bhore
Commission that recommended basic health services be
provided for all through Primary Health Centres (PHCs). In
line with the recommendations, PHCs were set up all across
the country, each serving about 30,000 inhabitants in its
vicinity. At the time, the urban population of India was less
than 18 per cent. Since then, the urban population has grown
over fourfold to 285 million of over the 1 billion people
living in India. 22.6 per cent of this 285 million live in slums
(GOI 2001).
As in the case of health services, provision of education for
all in India has also largely been envisaged within the public
delivery system even though this sector has a significant presence
of private providers. Since independence the government has
launched various schemes and programmes for increasing
literacy among all sections of the population, the Sarva Shiksha
Abhiyan and the Right to Education Bill are the two seminal
steps in this direction. Recently there has been a growing
demand for privatization and growth in the number of private
institutions. This phenomenon is more strongly visible in
the urban areas where there is a greater proportion of literate
23.4 per cent of the urban population was below the poverty
line (as against 76.3 million, that is, 32.4 per cent in 1993–4).
However, variations both across and within economic classes,
castes, and states are high. Many disenfranchized segments
suffer from high levels of deprivation not revealed by aggregate
numbers. This also affects their health indicators.
The Food Insecurity Atlas of Urban India (MSSRF 2002)
suggests approximately 38 per cent of children below the age
of three years in urban India are underweight and more than
35 per cent short for their age. Further, a high proportion of
the urban poor are not able to meet the nutrition norms laid
down by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
It is not clear whether the urban poor are generally better
off than the rural poor. On the one hand, aggregate figures
such as wages, poverty levels, expenditures, all show better
performance of urban areas. It is also believed that access to
schools and health facilities is better in urban areas. On the
other hand casual employment, daily wages, high level of
competition for the few unskilled jobs, all contribute to the
vulnerability of the urban poor.
An aspect of urban poverty rarely captured by published
data relates to the condition of those living at the fringes of the
urban

Slum economies play a critical role in fulfilling slum dwellers’ livelihood and consumption needs, while also making important contributions to the growing urban economies in developing countries. However, the economic opportunities of slum dwellers are constrained by significant barriers, including unsupportive – and in some cases, hostile – municipal environments, which fail to protect informal workers’ rights and provide sufficient infrastructure in slums; information asymmetries in the labor market that prevent equitable access to jobs; and insufficient access to resources (for example, skills, finance, and markets) that enable growth. These barriers constrain the income generation and economic mobility of slum dwellers, and limit access to affordable goods and services within slums.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
