The Scene of the Batla House slum areas is disastrous and alarming, which seeks special treatment from the part of civil society... If we could believe the Observation of CRA Team on the15th of March,2009... Nothing good is available there for living a life. In lingua franca this slum is known as Beesfuta...... As per the observation more than 90% children of slumdwellers are out of school, there could be various reason behind it . Forget child health.. even accurate child nutrition and nourishment is not available.. Child Mortality rate is very high.... Most of the Adolescents are Illiterate, engulfed in substantial abuse, smoking and chewing tobacco is very common among them...and offcourse petty crimes like theft, snatching, etc are on increasing trend. Obviously these are the common phenomenon of Slum Areas ... Nobody knows what is there future... almost, all the slum of Batla House and near by areas are situated on the floodland of Yamuna and most of them are living on temporary hutments. Although there are so called landlords of the said land, who are permitting these people to reside on their land and in consideration they charge some amount of rent. It also saves their land to be occupied by the Land mafias and others. From the government side, all the area has been listed as unauthorized habitation. Not to be permitted for Settlements. Unemployment is on large scale, those who are employed.... most of them are Rickshaw pullers... Paniwalas, labourers, housemaids etc... Almost slumdweller are migrants of Bihar and West Bengal. On an approximate they constitute 70 and 25 percent respectively.. Further Detail of report will be posted very soon on the Blog...

As concern as our role, we can be the flag bearers of the change in this slum area and other similar Slums of the city like Madanpur Khadar, Deoli, Sangamvihar, Jasola, Srinivaspuri slum, Bhajanpura slum, Brahmpuri slum etc.... A similar observation will be carried over in future course of time, by the CRA Team in the said similar slums . But not being too much ambitious and pompous.. Atleast we can initiate our aim to ensure the educational rights of the children from these slums.. let us begin from the Slum Areas of Batla house i.e. Beesfuta..
