Summary

To understand the vulnerability of the slums, all eleven slums in the town panchayats of Periyanaicken-Palayam and Narasimhanaicken-Palayam in Coimbatore were profiled using a range of indicators including location, migration, housing, water, sanitation, drainage, electricity, demography, and health seeking among others. This assessment helped categorise and prioritise slums in terms of their vulnerability, and to design and implement programmes for their improvement.
