Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB), New Delhi (Run by Delhi Government)

March 6, 2020

Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board works under the NCT of Government of Delhi, currently under the DUSIB Act, 2010. Under this act, areas can be declared slums when a building gets damaged and there are no basic civic amenities available. Apart from this they also look for areas like JhuggieJhomprie squatter settlements and good civic amenities for basic resettlement places.

Supreme Court has finally taken some steps to improve this problem, which is after 60 years of our Independence. After a lot of people being homeless in the cold winter of Delhi, finally they enforced the rights of the marginalized people to live a dignified life.

Many things were learned from this campaign and we all are very thankful to the Urban Delhi Shelter to volunteer in organizing this successful and inspiring campaign. We thank DUSIB for providing us the opportunity to improve the social work which is a very hard task to do.

According to National Disaster Management Guidelines, 2012, approximately 58% of India’s landmass is prone to earthquakes. Moreover 40 million hectares of land is prone to floods. Further 8% is prone to cyclones and 68% to draught and many of the hilly areas are prone to landsides and avalanches. Finance, Infrastructure, Crop and Productivity is hampered due to these disasters. The main reasons for the rise in vulnerability of disasters from the last four to five decades have been haphazard urbanization, rising population, structural development in high risk zones, environmental degradation, climate change, etc. The risk and vulnerabilities people face from natural disasters is as much as a product of social situation as that of their physical environment. Women and men shape their capability o cope up with the disasters through their social network, powerful relationships, knowledge and skills, gender roles, health, wealth and location.
