Challenge,… • One of the biggest challenges of 21st century is to

understand phenomenon of urban agglomeration. Most of the 20th century’s concept and visions about cities are being questioned. New approaches need to be invented; other actions/methods needs to be incorporated in the existing work methods. It is essential to search for new techniques to deal with large urban agglomeration and application of GIS and Remote sensing technique at the various stages of planning, implementation and monitoring of the urban projects.

Need to Focus on Urban Health

The urban population in India is expected to increase to more than 550 million by 2030

Currently, a sizable proportion of the population in most Indian cities lives in slum areas

The increasing slum population is seen an indication of worsening living conditions and increasing poverty in Indian cities

The increasing concentration of the population in slums and urban poverty have drawn a strong interest in urban health in general, and the health of slum dwellers and the urban poor in particular

o Hence, 54% of children in urban India are in private schools.

India’s Future,…. • "We no longer discuss the future of

India. We say the future is India" said the Indian Commerce and Industry Minister at the conference organized by the US-India Business Council in 2004. He predicted that India would certainly have achieved 100 % literacy, become a developed country, enjoy the same fundamentals as the United States by 2030.

EDUCATION, ETC.
