      ab: This paper based on a survey on health and anthropometric indicators suggest that women and children suffer from a high degree of malnutrition, underlining the lack of essential civic amenities and basic health facilities in the slums of Delhi. The focal point of this paper is on women and children (within five years of age group) mainly because of their greater biological vulnerability. This paper attempts to put forward the view that poor condition of health, low educational status, awareness among females and seasonality in the income of the women further deteriorates the health and nutritional status of women and children in urban slums.
