"Lives on the Margins: Stories of Slum Dwellers" offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of those living in urban informal settlements. Drawing from real-life narratives, this book highlights the struggles, resilience, and aspirations of slum dwellers often overlooked by mainstream society.

The book sheds light on critical issues such as housing, sanitation, education, gender, and labor in the slums.

Rather than portraying slum dwellers as mere victims, it foregrounds their agency, solidarity, and innovation. It challenges stereotypes and urges readers to reimagine urban development from the perspective of the marginalized. A vital resource for students, researchers, and policymakers, the book bridges academic research and human experience. "Lives on the Margins" is a tribute to the strength of those who make homes in the most precarious corners of our cities.
