4. AFTER TALKING TO THE PEOPLE OF THE LOCALITY WE GOT TO KNOW THAT
AROUND 15 YEARS BACK FROM NOW THE STRUCTURES WERE :
A)HUT MADE UP OF HAY
B) HUT MADE UP OF MUD
RECENTLY SOME CONCRETE STRUCTURES HAVE BEEN BUILT , BUT THESE
STRUCTURES ARE NOT MUCH PREFERRED BY THEM AS THE COMPLAIN ABOUT
THE RENT BEING TOO HIGH AND THEY BEING UNABLE TO PAY IT .
STRUCTURE TYPE

11. THE MAIN OCCUPATION OF PEOPLE HERE IS
MASONRY,FARMING,MOSTLY BASED OF ODD JOBS WHICH
OFFER THEM DAILY WAGES
COMPARED TO THE URBAN BANGALORE STUDY PEOPLE HERE
GET ALONG EACH WITH EACH OTHER IN A BETTER WAY
IT WAS BUILT ALMOST ABOUT 25 TO 30 YEARS BACK
AND UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS LOACLITY PEOPLE HERE MOVED IN
TOGETHER AS A BUNCH AS THERE WERE SOME OTHER WORK
WHICH WAS GOING ON IN THEIR OLD AREA BECAUSE OF
WHICH THEY ALL HAD TO SHIFT HERE
ABOUT THE PEOPLE

12. AS THERE IS A LOT OF PROBLEM OF WATER ALMOST ALL OF THEM HAVE THESE HUGE CONTAINERS FOR
STORING WATER AND WHICH IS SHARED BY ALL AND JUST NOT BY THE PERSON WHO ACTUALLY OWNS
THE CONTAINER
MOST OF THE HOUSES DO NOT HAVE A SOLID CONCRETE WALL HOUSES ARE MADE UP OF THESE
CORRUGATED SHEETS AND THE WATERPROOF SHEETS AS THEY CANT AFFORD TO PAY THE RENT FOR A
CONCRETE BUILDING OR GET ONE BUILD FOR THEMSELVES
MOST OF THE LADIES DO SMALL ODD JOBS TO GIVE THEIR SIDE OF HELP TO RUN THE HOUSE. THESE
JOBS ARE NOT PERMANENT THEY MIGHT HAVE TODAY THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE TOMORROW THEY HAVE
TO SEARCH FOR JOBS EVERYDAY

14. THERE ARE NO SUCH SHOPS NEARBY FOR THE
EMERGENCY ITEMS UNLIKE THE URBAN AREA HAD
MOST OF THE KIDS DO NOT GO TO SCHOOLS
AND HELP THEIR PARENTS TO RUN THE HOUSE

THE GRADE OF 5TH
OR MAXIMUM 8TH

15. COMMUNITY IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE STAYING TOGETHER HAVING
SAME INTEREST
HAVING THE UNDERSTANDING OF HELPING EACH OTHER
REGARDLESS OF THEY BELONGING TO THEIR FAMILY OR NO
WHAT DOES COMMUNITY
MEAN TO US ?

16. EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO CLEANLINESS AROUND THAT AREA BUT WHEN IT
CAME TO PEOPLE TALKING TO EACH OTHER WAS VERY HEARTWARMING
WHEN WE WENT TO INTERVIEW THEM THEY ACTUALLY MADE GO TO THEIR OWN
HOUSES AND MADE US TALK TO ECH AND EVERY FAMILY MEMBER
THE ONLY PROBLEM MAJORLY THEY FACED WAS NOT ABLE TO PAY THE RENT FOT
THE CONCRETE BUILDINGS IN WHICH THEY WERE STAYING
THEIR MAJOR PROBLENM WAS THEIR KIDS GOING TO THE SCHOOL AND IT WAS
PRETTY DANGEROUS AS THEY HAD TO CROSS THE MAJOR ROADS AND RAILWAY
TRACKS IN ORDER TO RAECH SCHOOL
