Disability and Children in the Slums of New Delhi

This dissertation investigates the lives of disabled children in the slums of New Delhi, India. Through the use of informal interviews, participant observation, focus group and participatory methods, the dissertation illustrated the flaws in administrative policies, role of NGOs and attitudes of parents and communities towards disabled children of slums. It has also broadened the debates and explored the hidden ‘tragedy’ associated with disabled children from economically disadvantaged society. Furthermore, it focuses more specifically a desire to bring a reform in the society’s attitude towards the disabled children, so that in future they can enjoy the same basic human and fundamental rights which other people have.
