Kathputli Nagar is the largest slum in Jaipur, situated near the Vidhan Sabha and Secretariat. Established over 50 years ago by Kathputhli artisans, it has since grown to include other communities as well. Today, there are 1500 houses home to more than 15,000 people living in this area.
Jawahar Nagar Kachchi Basti is the second largest slum area in Jaipur, located east of Jawahar Nagar along a bypass road. This settlement provides homes for around 7000 families, many of whom have settled on any available plot that they could access with ease. Unfortunately, these plots are often environmentally sensitive locations such as forests and flood-prone areas. 27% of Jaipur's slums are situated in forestland while 18% lie along main roads.
Bhojpura Kacchi Basti is a small dweller located near the railway station, home to 31 families. This slum area is plagued by a multitude of daily struggles, including limited access to clean water and educational resources. Without proper support, these challenges can be difficult for the community to overcome.
