The Cost of Living in NCR’s Shadows
Two NCRs Exist Side by Side
In NCR, luxury offices often overlook informal settlements. This blog explores the hidden cost of living in the shadows of development.
The Illusion of Urban Prosperity
India’s cities drive economic growth, yet:
- Over 17% of NCR residents live in informal housing
- Basic services remain inaccessible
Growth doesn’t automatically mean inclusion.
Daily Struggles Behind the Skyline
Residents face:
- Unstable income
- Unsafe housing
- Limited healthcare access
Despite proximity to opportunity, barriers remain invisible.
Why Location Doesn’t Equal Access
Living near development doesn’t guarantee:
- Education
- Employment security
- Healthcare
Structural exclusion keeps communities stuck.
How Grassroots Work Bridges the Gap
Snehdhara focuses on:
- Essentials distribution
- Education support
- Health awareness
Small interventions create stability where systems fail.
What Real Urban Development Should Look Like
True progress ensures:
- Services reach everyone
- Dignity is preserved
- No community is ignored
Conclusion: Growth Must Be Human
Cities can’t thrive while communities are left behind.
