Lodhi Road, New Delhi -- (SBWire) -- 04/08/2012 --Urban poverty in India is an increasingly difficult challenge for India. As per official estimates there are over 25% people living below poverty line in urban areas and with the trend towards increasing urbanization this number is only increasing. As per the 10th five year plan (2007- 2008), there was a shortfall of 24.71 million houses (approximately 2.5 crores) in urban India., 90 per cent of this shortfall affects the EWS (Economically Weaker Sections) and LIG (Lower Income Group) sections. IGSSS is having experience enthusiastic resource persons on ,Urban Poverty Homelessness in India & Rights of Urban Homeless on its membership. On the other hand, the IGSSS plays a significant constructive role in a city's 'development', languish in the remote corners of the city. The CityMakers Programme of the IGSSS is designed to work towards improving the living conditions of the Homeless Citizens, and also to ensure well-equipped shelters for them.

Indo-Global Social Service Society is the best non-Government organization working for the improvement of Urban Poverty in all over India. The urban poverty line in India is probably one of the most disputed and incessantly attacked ones in the world. It’s simply what some call a “starvation line”, a line that accounts for the feeling of satiety - measured in calories. IGSSS was started with the mission to help alleviate Urban Poverty Homelessness in India. We believe that the poor have a right to accessible, affordable and good quality health care. We are delivering these services through our CityMakers Programme. We are also working on livelihoods for women by providing them skills training and market linkages. The issue of urban poverty in India can be best expressed with the IGSSS. This is mainly due to the vast and continuous immigration of the rural poor into urban areas.

Moreover, as Urban Poverty Homelessness in India picks up pace, there are fears that pressure on cities for lands and services, for skills that are compatible with the changing labor market requirements, and affordable credit will mount enormously. The CityMakers Programme is designed to work towards improving the living conditions of urban poor Homeless Citizens, or ‘CityMakers’. IGSSS (NGO) is dedicated to resolve Urban Poverty in India, Urban Poverty in India & Rights of Urban Homeless in India. It also includes attention in greater depth to three pathways important to inclusive growth and poverty reduction harnessing the potential of urban growth to stimulate rural-based poverty reduction, rural diversification away from agriculture, and tackling social exclusion.
