Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow Many millions of people in Delhi reside in shanty-towns and informal dwelling often with garbage bag plastic roofs and walls. There are a large number of unlucky people who live in the streets. After the partition of India there has been large scale illegal migration from Pakistan and Bangladesh and most of these migrants have settled in the slums of Delhi. One such settlement area in Delhi is Seemapuri. There are many lakhs of such people living in very poor conditions here. Many of them are ragpickers and they find the slums of Delhi a far better place than their own villages in Bangladesh due to extreme poverty there. Poverty and unemployment are the other prominent reasons for migration to the city slums. But due to illiteracy the migrants are not able to get good jobs in the city and remain poor. Exploitation under the feudalistic society of the rural India is another reason why people are forced to leave their land of birth. Due to the lack of development of infrastructure in the villages there are no employments and it widens the gap between the rural and the urban India. Delhi is ever expanding and one of the serious problems Delhi encounter is lack of quality education to the young population of Delhi. For such a largely populated metropolitan city like Delhi there are just about 100 quality schools. Most of them are public schools run by private management. Though the government had allotted land to these educational institutions at a very cheap rate with a promise that 25% of admissions should be reserved to the poor, not many of the managements fulfil that promise. The fees of these schools are exorbitant that poor people can never get an opportunity to study in these institutions. The government run MCD schools are in such a pathetic condition that they cannot cater to the educational needs of the millions in the emerging world class city, Delhi. 1.
