Research Findings: Bawana JJ Colony
July 13, 2007
Surviving Evictions & Resettlement in Bawana JJ Colony
The JAGORI Research Team presents the findings of a study of the impact of evictions. The study was an intensive two-year long exercise of collecting quantitative and qualitative data from around 3000 families who have been forcibly resettled in this location on the North-Western outskirts of the city.
Our research provides the “hard” evidence needed to back up the contention of activists and community groups, that the evictions and forced relocation to Bawana have shattered people’s lives and destroyed their livelihoods.
The JAGORI Research Project is a unique effort to track the way in which the process of eviction and resettlement has literally pushed about 5000 families - at least 25,000 women, men and children - off the map of the city, rendering them invisible to policy-makers and the public alike, allowing the State to wash its hands of any responsibility for securing their rights or even ensuring their survival.
