zomg. I was checking this through other sources to make sure it wasn't patent nonsense. There is in fact an Indian National Slumdwellers association. O_O Elomis 21:37, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Arputham realized that slum dweller organizations had to change their strategy. They had to make governments see them as legitimate citizens with knowledge and capacities to implement solutions. So they sought to work in partnership with government to address their housing problems – and other problems. He often said how can you reduce urban poverty if you do not listen to and work with the urban poor. He built more than 20,000 (toilet) seats in Mumbai alone. He insisted on new standards on redeveloped housing, an increased floor-space-index. Over the years, Arputham has built 30,000 houses in India, and 1,00,000 houses abroad. Funding for his work came from many sources. Thanks to his work, he met both Bill Clinton and Nelson Mandela.

He visited many other countries to encourage and support slum or shack dwellers to organize and to encourage them to take their own initiatives to show government what they are capable of. He resided in Mumbai; his office was in Dharavi.
