Background

Labourers in India usually do not have a place to call home. They move from one city to another, depending on where they find work and visit their places of origins very infrequently. Not being permanently employed coupled with moving to new cities regularly makes their lives very unstable. Economic limitations add to the barriers that they face in accessing even the most basic resources. Urban planning is absent in low-income localities where such labourers usually reside. Lack of information which translates into a barrier to access to basic state sponsored facilities including government hospitals, public bathrooms and police stations.
