A visit to J.J colony Noida sector 16 -Wednesday,


01 October 2014
It’s unfortunate that nearby the Corporate Hub in Noida where some
of the major companies have their Head offices example:- HCL,RMS,
Just dial, Home shop 18, Innodata etc. There is a belt of slums which
is suffering in absence of basic requirements of life. Rapid
urbanisation has given growth to these slum areas which is facing
difficult situations. Government is working for the improving these
slums and people over there, but somehow the attempts are not
enough to cope with this problem.

Major issues that we found during the visit were:-

I. Lack of education
II. Unemployment
III. Children going in wrong direction
IV. Lack of important amenities such as water, sewage, health
facilities etc.
V. People in these areas are involved in all kinds of crimes and
most of them are drunkards

In all these context FXB suraksha india is doing a wonderful work


of improving life of people in this area by providing them free
education, medical check-ups and awareness programmes.
Almost 350 children from these areas have been educated

and admitted to government schools in last 4 years.

Year Total no. of children Admitted to schools


Male Female Total Male Female Total
2011 47 57 104 45 50 95
2012 18 42 60 20 27 47
2013 27 38 65 25 32 57
2014 26 35 61 16 29 45
During our visit we came to know about the problems that are
more prevalent:- Children become drug addicts in their early age,
sexual awareness is a major issue amongst girls (early age
pregnancies), small children involved in crimes. It’s good to know
that a NGO working for making life of slum people better and
becoming a part of it for some time is a good experience. We all
should do our part in making society more aware towards
improvement of slum areas and making life of Slum dwellers and
their children better as the condition of these slums can never
improve without true and active participation of society.
