This paper aims to quantify gap accessing affordable facilities faced by socio-economically weaker sections society. Majority older cities India have central core surrounding peri-urban areas, which were added later on minimize stress urban expansion provide adequate infrastructure. research states that installation new for catering growing needs citizens expanding need hour.
