Transforming Patterns Of Challenges And Agency: Understanding Migration In Delhi-NCR’s Slums

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of economic fluctuations on the establishment of an ideal environment for the continuing migration of citizens to Delhi from neighboring states, including Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The study investigates the experiences of landless and disadvantaged individuals who came to Delhi over time in search of enhanced living conditions and employment possibilities. People came to the United States in both small and large families because they needed money, desired a better life, and wanted to be free of debt.

The study connects the history of migration to the tendency of more people moving to cities in several regions of Delhi, like Sangam Vihar and Bhalesua Dairy. It will look at how politics made slums, where impoverished people dwell, expand. How migration patterns have changed over time, with a focus on the economic reasons that have affected migration. The study also looks at the contradictory effects of urbanization, which have made life harder for migrants even though they have created new opportunities. These groups live in slums in cities and try to make their lives better and make money while dealing with the fact that the city is growing quickly. We will also discuss about how politically conscious the poor neighborhoods in Delhi are, such as Sangam Vihar and Bhalswa Village, which are two of the city's poorest districts. It looks at how the social and political situations of these excluded groups affect how much they know about and are involved in the larger urban setting.
