NEW DELHI: The Aga Khan Development Network project is working with the locals living around the Hazrat Nizamuddin basti- Humayun Tomb-Sundar Nursery area to enhance their quality of life.

The Network is a group of private, non-denominational, international development agencies created by the Aga Khan, the 49th hereditary Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims. The agencies address problems experienced by all citizens irrespective of race, ethnicity, gender or region.

Aimed at building a broad spectrum of human development — social, economic and cultural — into a comprehensive strategy, the Network is addressing the basic issues of health, education and livelihood needs, besides improving civic amenities and facilities such as water, toilets, roads and drains and environmental sanitation in the area.
