National Slum Dwellers Federation
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The National Slum Dwellers Federation (NSDF) in India was established by Jockin Arputham when he fought on behalf of a community of 70,000 to appeal a 1976 eviction order.
In the 1980s, NSDF formed an alliance with Mahila Milan and SPARC, and this alliance became the basis for establishing Slum Dwellers International in 1996.[1]
In 1999, National Slum Dwellers Federation won the UN Habitat Scroll of Honour Award.
