Homeless people's in India

A homeless person is defined into three categories.

In general it is said about an individual who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence; and an individual who has a primary nighttime residence that is

a publicly supervised or privately operated shelter designed to provide temporary living accommodations (including welfare hotels, congregate shelters, and transitional housing for the mentally ill);
an institution that provides a temporary residence for individuals intended to be institutionalized; or
a public or private place not designed for, or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.

With a population of well over 1 billion people, India is the second most populous nation in the world. According to UN-HABITAT, India is home to 63% of all slum dwellers in South Asia. This amounts to 170 million people, 17% of the world’s slum dwellers. India's per capita income, although rising, rank's it 124th in the world. This low per capita income is one factor that marks the sharp divide between India's wealthiest and poorest citizens. Approximately 35 percent of India's 260 million people (a group almost equal to the entire population of the United States) still earns $1 or less a day.

Structural problem:

Lack of affordable housing
Changes in the industrial economy leading to unemployment
Inadequate income supports
the De-institutionalization of patients with mental health problems
and the erosion of family and social support. Factors that increase an individual's vulnerability
Physical or mental illness
Disability
Substance abuse
Domestic violence
Job loss

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

In 1948, the UN General Assembly set down a Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

5 Ways

Ask before you buy: Firecrackers, cigarettes and more such products are made in sweatshops in India that employ children in extremely harmful working conditions. Next time u buy something read the label in detail and make a smart choice!

Influence Awareness: Half the people who are being exploited don’t even know about the rights the constitution provides them with. So, start by educating your friends!

Respect differences: Instead of judging your next door neighbour because of his religion or community, try getting to know him/her instead and listening to his view!

Address people on merit, not demographics: When you need to judge someone, consider their skills and their personality – not from they come or their skill or gender.

Drop the ‘chalta hai’ attitude: If you someone who is being exploited, don’t walk on. Stop, talk to the victim , offer assistance and get help from a local NGO.
