| Summary: | Improving quality of life in the slum is one of the development goals for new millennium. The
existence of slums is essentially a manifestation of poverty, along with the economic and industrial
development-slums will continue to exist and grow further. The experience of Kerala shows that the condition
of the people can be improved even at low levels of economic development through appropriate public action
for social provisioning and redistribution. Kerala has been able to provide for the basic needs of most of its
citizen. This is revealed by comparative indicators of health, education and demographic transition. These
average indicators hide the experience of communities that have been left out of the development process such
as the fisher folk and the tribal’s 1 . Increasing numbers of slums constitute a major challenge to
development.The result emphasizes the need for measures to improve the physical environment of the dwelling
places like basic amenities of toilets, proper drainage, sewerage system and adequate water supply . |
