THE BACKGROUND

Urbanisation

During the decade 1971-81, the urban population growth
rate was much higher than the total population growth
rate. In 1971, the total population of India was 548.2

and the urban population 109.1

In

total population was 685.2 million and the

urban population

159.73.

Thus

over

the

ten-year

period, the proportion of the Indian population in the
urban

areas increased from 19.9 per cent to 23.3

cent.

India’s urban growth was 46.41, almost

double

the total population growth of 25.05 per cent.

Living
Conditions in
Urban Areas

In

India,

forty per cent of the urban

households

live in just one room.

In Calcutta,

this proportion of the population is

brought to 70 per cent and in Bombay, 82 per cent.

The

remaining 73 per cent also do rot have access

to entirely safe water supply.
80 per cent have no private latrines, of

these

per cent remain water-logged during the monsoon.
72 per cent do not have access to sanitation.
Situation of

On the lowest estimates, around 13 million children

Children

live in slum areas of which 3.6 million are under 4
years.

Nearly

300,000 urban children die annually due

to

diarrhoeal dehydration.

29 per cent of the infant deaths and 22 per cent of
child deaths in urban areas occur without

recourse

to any professional medical attention.
At

least

6000 urban children become

blind

every

year due to Vitamin A deficiency.
Over

60 per cent of children below 3 years of

45 per cent between the ages of 3 and 5

years

Situation of
