Maharashtra accounts for 23 per cent of total slum population, followed by Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal
Just under nine million households, or roughly one-eighth of India’s urban population, lives in a slum, according to data from the latest round of the National Sample Survey released on Tuesday. The number is significantly lower than the 14 million slum households identified by the Census in 2011.
