Formal recognition of land rights allows for cleaner cities and better living conditions for slum dwellers. Examine. 10 marks

Mentor’s comment-

  • Write a few introductory lines about the growth of urbanization in India and the problems this has led to.
  • In the body discuss the importance of slums from the point of workforce. Discuss about the various challenges faced by the slum dwellers due to lack of recognition of land title and reasons why most slum development strategies have failed in India. Using the Odisha’s Jaga mission as an example, substantiate as to how the formal recognition of land title can lead to betterment of living conditions. What other measures needed to tackle it.
  • Conclude with way forward.

      Hi Neeraj
      Answer is well started.
      Updaye your content with current affairs, you can mentio Odisha’s famous mission for slum- Jaga mission.
      Substantiate your content with some data like largest number of slums reported from Maharashtra (21,359). People who are living in slums increased from 52 million in 2001 to 65.5 million in 2011.
      Avoid writing bullet points like you did in issues part, explain each of them in 1-2 lines.
      Measures are good.
      Good conclusion.
      Keep working hard.

      Hi Arun
      You wrote the introduction about poverty, the question is about slums.
      You can start like -Slums are an omnipresent reality for most of the major cities of India and various efforts have been made by the government to address the issue.
      Issues are discussed in a decent manner.
      Measures needed more points like instead of forced evictions, authorities should plan an in-situ upgrading approach. Easy financing and loaning options at affordable interest rates for upgrading, building and extension of the existing shelter should be made available.
      Good conclusion.
      Update your content with current affairs.
      Try to write all the four answers on a regular basis.
      Keep writing.
