Sanjay Colony slum is not as large as “Dharavi” slums of Mumbai, however It covers an 18 acre area and has 45,000 residents. This area earlier was a forest when dwellers started coming to the area in 1979. Sanjay Colony slum visit gives an insight into the life of its dwellers where dwellers are busy in their indigenous cottage industries styled units. Although poor but the dwellers have got enough talent to earn their living their way. You will come across religious structures from temples to mosques, a small doctor’s office to schools and may garment making units.

Interesting experience
2023-03-21
I was traveling with my 14 years old son. We picked this tour based on reviews, people highly recommend this tour. We were a little scared at the beginning when locals gathered around us and were staring at us as our tour guide was making introductions. We had amazing tour guide Vijay, he assured us that it would be safe. It was indeed safe, I felt absolutely safe inside slum area. Locals were very friendly, kids were following us saying "Hello" and asking where did we come from. We visited doctor's office, temple, school, and a small community center. As other noted, locals have very limited means, but they keep up with their lives and are just trying to make a living.
Spirited people having no complaints towards the life

Spirited people proudly making their ends meet, dwellers in the slum are hard working people who are always busy in some or other work to survive. Though they had small spaces but still I saw their national flag proudly adorning their rooftops. So motivational! Also the stepwell that was shown before the slum tour was astonishing.
