With an ever increasing number of slums emerging almost daily across the metros in the country, it was imperative that the Government took prudent steps to check this occurrence. Due to unavoidable circumstances, the dwellers in these slums, lead an unhygienic lifestyle and have poor standards of living. Keeping this in mind, the Government of Maharashtra has brought an amendment to the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act 56 and introduced a nodal agency Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA). SRA brought forth a Slum Rehabilitation Programme that analyzes and reviews existing positions of slum areas in the city. The SRA then devises plans for rehabilitation of these identified slum areas and ensures that the slum rehabilitation scheme planned is executed to the best of SRA abilities.
