  • Slum Dwelling

    Kusumpur Pahari is the largest slum in Delhi. The slum has about 10,000 to 12,000 houses in it and is located in Vasant Vihar, bordering Delhi's most expensive malls in Vasant Kunj. These malls have expensive restaurants and designer stores from Dior to Marks and Spencer. Each home is about 10 feet by 10 feet and houses 2 families and about 10 - 12 people. The slum has several Indian NGOs helping with education, healthcare and micro-finance. Most of the slum dwellers came to Delhi to find work as servants, drivers, gardeners and sweepers for the surrounding wealthy neighborhoods. They are from villages in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Orissa, Assam and West Bengal.
