Arvin Kejriwal is a politician from India and a former civil servant. He also served as the 7th Chief Minister of Delhi and is also the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party.
Kejriwal graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur and then went on to work for the Indian Revenue Service as a Joint Commissioner in the Income Tax Department. He was awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership in 2006, which recognised his involvement in a grass-roots movement which made use of the Right to Information Act in a campaign against corruption. He then went on to resign from the Indian Revenue Service and donated all the award money to fund and found the Public Cause Research Foundation which is a non-governmental organisation.
Starting in 2012, he launched the Aam Aadmi Party. In the 2013, he ousted incumbent Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit in the Delhi Legislative Assembly election of that year. He took office as Delhi’s Chief Minister on December 28, 2013, but resigned 49 days later on February 14, 2014. He states that he resigned because of his government’s inability to pass the anti-corruption legislation he had proposed. This was due to the lack of support from other political parties, chiefly Congress and Bhartiya Janata Pary (BJP).
He was born on August 6, 1968 in Siwani, Bhiwani district in the state of Haryana to a middle class family. He was the first of three children by parents Gobind Ram Kejriwal and Gita Devi. His father was an electrical engineer by trade who graduated from the Birla Institute of Technology in Mesra. Because of his father’s job, the family moved many times throughout Kejriwal’s childhood. Much of his childhood was spent in North India, specifically in the towns of Sonipat, Ghaziabad and Hisar. He was educated at Campus School, located in Hisar and then went to a Christian missionary school in Sonipat. He attended and graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur. Afterwards, he was employed by Tata Steel in 1989 and worked in Jamshedpur.

According to the passage, what is the urban poor?
Directions: Read the passage below and answer the question given underneath.
The urban poor are experiencing the same level of health as their equivalent in rural areas. Both communities have an equal status of poor health among their respective population. While there may be different characteristics for single population in different cities, they all share many common features which affect health status and social challenges. These include overcrowding, air pollution, tobacco use, unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, alcohol and drug abuse, road injuries, etc. Other difficulties and challenges center on poor infrastructure which would include poor solid waste management, insufficient access to health care, particularly in slum areas. Most cities also face various challenges in terms of communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases, maternal and child care issues, natural disasters and the threat of reemerging and emerging diseases. As per the UHRC, one in every ten children in the slums do not live upto the age of five years in India. Furthermore, nearly 42% of slum children receive recommended vaccinations. Over half of child births that take place among poor women occur at home in slums, which puts both the mother and the newborn at risk. Another risk factor is the poor sanitation found in slums, which contributes to the high rate of diseases. Two-thirds of urban poor households do not have access to toilets and nearly 50% do not have running water supplied to their homes.
Currently, the Indian health system is more focussed towards those poor in rural areas and it has an organisational structure that begins from the grass roots to tertiary care which is managed by dedicated staff. Unfortunately, there is a huge deficiency of services and structures in urban areas. To add to this, a very rapid growth of the urban population has overburdened the existing system. The majority of healthcare in cities is mainly served by private sector doctors and hospitals which tends to cost much higher and is not accessible to the most urban poor.
- Poor people who live in the country.
- Poor people who live in cities.

Most cities also face various challenges in terms of communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases, maternal and child care issues, natural disasters and the threat of reemerging and emerging diseases. As per the UHRC, one in every ten children in the slums do not live upto the age of five years in India. Furthermore, nearly 42% of slum children receive recommended vaccinations. Over half of child births that take place among poor women occur at home in slums, which puts both the mother and the newborn at risk. Another risk factor is the poor sanitation found in slums, which contributes to the high rate of diseases. Two-thirds of urban poor households do not have access to toilets and nearly 50% do not have running water supplied to their homes.
Currently, the Indian health system is more focussed towards those poor in rural areas and it has an organisational structure that begins from the grass roots to tertiary care which is managed by dedicated staff. Unfortunately, there is a huge deficiency of services and structures in urban areas. To add to this, a very rapid growth of the urban population has overburdened the existing system. The majority of healthcare in cities is mainly served by private sector doctors and hospitals which tends to cost much higher and is not accessible to the most urban poor.

The urban poor are experiencing the same level of health as their equivalent in rural areas. Both communities have an equal status of poor health among their respective population. While there may be different characteristics for single population in different cities, they all share many common features which affect health status and social challenges. These include overcrowding, air pollution, tobacco use, unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, alcohol and drug abuse, road injuries, etc. Other difficulties and challenges center on poor infrastructure which would include poor solid waste management, insufficient access to health care, particularly in slum areas. Most cities also face various challenges in terms of communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases, maternal and child care issues, natural disasters and the threat of reemerging and emerging diseases. As per the UHRC, one in every ten children in the slums do not live upto the age of five years in India. Furthermore, nearly 42% of slum children receive recommended vaccinations.
