3. Transport Nagar Kachchi Basti is the second largest slum area in Jaipur, situated along the Delhi-Jaipur bypass road. It serves as a home for approximately 7,000 families who have settled on whatever land was easily accessible to them. However, many of these plots are located in environmentally sensitive areas such as forests and flood-prone zones. Shockingly, 27% of Jaipur's slums are built on forestland and another 18% lie alongside major roads. This poses a significant threat to both the residents and the surrounding ecosystem. Discover the unique lifestyle and community of those living and working in challenging conditions. Despite the difficulties, there is a strong sense of positivity and camaraderie that makes it a truly special place to be. In this article, we will delve into the world of working and residential life and see how people thrive in these circumstances.

About Jaipur

Jaipur, the Pink City of Rajasthan, is a royal capital of forts, palaces and bazaars set against the rugged Aravalli hills.

The old city's walls enclose a grid of streets painted terracotta pink, laid out in the eighteenth century by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. At its heart, the City Palace mixes Rajput and Mughal styles, the honeycomb façade of the Hawa Mahal, the Palace of Winds, looks down on the street, and the giant astronomical instruments of Jantar Mantar still track the sun.

Top-ranked sights in Jaipur: Palace of Wind (Hawa Mahal), City Palace, Jal Mahal (Water Palace).
