It is clearly seen that intra-state migration is the predominant form of entry to Mumbai city for most street children.
c) Figure 4: Geographical Distribution of Street Children (Across Zones in Mumbai)
Mumbai North Zone = Khar to Virar
Kurla to Kalyan/Panvel
Mumbai Central Zone = Mahalakshmi to Bandra
Parel to Chembur
Mumbai South Zone = Colaba to Mumbai Central
C.S.T to Byculla
It is worth noting that most street children are distributed in South and Central Zone where most NGOs working with street children are located. Very few NGOs are present in North Zone areas working with street children where 11% of them are located.
