Focusing on the socioeconomic challenges faced by resettled slum dwellers in Chennai, the study examines community participation and the roles of various organizations in the resettlement process. Findings indicate minimal changes in education and employment for the residents, with many men retaining old jobs and women losing theirs, leading to decreased family incomes. Despite new infrastructure, dissatisfaction prevailed in most colonies. This pioneering research offers valuable insights for future social work projects aimed at slum resettlement.
