1. URBAN BANGALORE
COMMUNITY STUDY

2. ►NAME OF THE PLACE:-MOHAN KUMAR NAGAR[AKHYAPA
GARDEN].
►NEAR YESHWANTHPUR RAILWAY STATION.
►THIS AREA WAS BUILT ALMOST 30 TO 35 YEARS BACK.
►THERE IS NO PROBLEM OF ELECTRICITY AND POWER.
►THERE IS NO SUCH PARTICULAR PEOPLE OF A PARTICULAR
COMMUNITY , THERE ARE PEOPLE BELONGING TO ALL TYPES OF
COMMUNITIES SPEAKING IN ALL LANGUAGES.

3. THE PEOPLE IN THIS LOCALITY KNOW EVERYONE AND THE WHOLE PLACE
ACTS AS ONE SINGLE FAMILY.
THE MAIN OCCUPATIONS OF THE PEOPLE BELONGING HERE IS
TAILORING,WORKING AS HOUSE MAIDS IN THE NEARBY APARTMENTS.
THE COMMON THING A PERSON WILL NOTICE HERE IS THAT IN THE EVENING
ALL THE NEIGHBOURING HOUSE LADIES WILL COME TOGETHER AND SIT AT
ONE PLACE AND TALK FOR HOURS.
THERE IS NOTHING SUCH AS MY FAMILY OR YOUR FAMILY THE WHOLE
LOCALITY ACTS AS ONE WHOLE FAMILY .
YOU CAN FIND PEOPLE SPEAKING ALL LANGUAGES LIKE
HINDI,TELUGU,URUDU,KANNADA,TAMIL AND A FEW ENGLISH.
SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR

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

6. THE PEOPLE IN THIS LOCALITY HAVE THEIR OWN WORSHIPPING PLACES
LIKE THE MOSQUE, TEMPLE , SMALL AREA TO PRAY TO THE CHRIST.
THERE ARE ALL COMMUNITY PEOPLE HINDU , MUSLIM , CHRISTIANS
AND MANY OF THEM ARE CONVERTED CHRISTIAN
THE KIDS OF THIS AREA GO TO THE NEARBY SCHOOL WHICH IS AT
WALKING DISTANCE
MOST OF THE PEOPLE OF THIS LOCALITY HAVE STUDIED TILL 9TH GRADE
AND A FEW TILL 12TH GRADE

7. MOST OF THE USE THESE CONTAINER TYPES BATHROOMS AS THEY DO NOT
HAVE ONE IN THEIR HOUSE
THE SURROUNDING IS FILLED WITH ALL THE GARBAGE WASTE

8. ALL THE EMERGENCY THINGS WERE AVAILABLE EASILY AS
THERE WERE A FEW SHOPS WITH ALL THE MINIMUM
NECESSARY ITEMS
THERE WAS NO PROBLEM OF ELECTRICITY, WATER OR
EVEN TRANSPORTATION
WHEN IT CAME TO FIND A JOB FOR THEMSELVES THAT
WAS NOT A PROBLEM TOO AS MOST OF THEM WERE
WORKING IN THE APARTMENTS, TAILORS IN THE GARMENT
SHOP NEAR RMC YARD, FEW AS WELDERS AND
MECHANICS AGAIN WHICH WERE AVAILABLE NEARBY

9. RURAL COMMUNITY
STUDY

10.  LOCATION:-DEVENAHALLI
 BETWEEN DEVANAHLLI AND VENKATAGIRIKOTE
 THERE IS A LOT OF PROBLEM OF ELECTRICITY AND AT TIMES EVEN
WATER SUPPLY CAN ALSO BE A PROBLEM
 MAINLY PEOPLE TALK TELUGU AND VILLAGE KANNADA INGTHIS
AREA

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
MOST OF THE PEOPLE HAVE STUDIED ONLY TILL
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
