Neighbourhood women gather outside their homes to discuss the area upkeep and work issues. As organized home-based workers, the women associated with the Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA), a trade union that works to secure the rights of workers in the informal sector, and Mahila Housing Trust (MHT), a NGO that improves the housing conditions of poor, informally employed women, have led slum upgradation programmes in their area and also received training on working from home and how to market their products.

Cuando el Ministerio de Sanidad y Bienestar Familiar dio a conocer los resultados de la quinta Encuesta Nacional de Salud Familiar (ENSF), que documenta los datos del gobierno en materia de salud y bienestar familiar, se produjo un aluvión de declaraciones altisonantes. Muchos medios de comunicación informaron de que la población india se había “estabilizado” y algunos incluso afirmaron que había empezado a “disminuir”.
