This increasing pressure is giving rise to more number of slums and this ismultiplying the problems in the urban areas as health is the first casualty in slums, besides they are suffering fromeconomic hardship, lack of education, overcrowding, absence of basic services and many more. This worse conditionof slum dwellers becomes worst when they are called “burden to the city”. This paper mainly evaluates the socioeconomiccondition of slum dwellers and their changing pattern in the DHQs of Rajasthan.
