Question

Garbage to them is gold. How do ragpickers of seemapuri survive

Answer 1

Rag-pickers of Seemapuri means scavenging the heaps of garbage and collecting and selling the recyclable things such as plastic to those people who process them back to usable articles. While scavenging the garbage heaps, these children at times find a rupee or ten rupee note. But this happens very rarely. The hope of finding a note keeps them excited; however, for elders there is no other option. They have to do the rag-picking for their survival.
