India is one of the most developing countries in the world, where higher growth rate of many metropolitan cities has been observed. But, in most cases slum is a tragic reality of metropolitan cities. Quality of life of dwellers in slums is in very poor conditions. The present study is based on the primary survey which was conducted in different slums in Kolkata Municipal Corporation. A total number of 300 household samples were collected from ward number 1, 2, 7, 19 and 49 of Kolkata Municipal Corporation. All the selected wards are notified slum area. In this study, a set of indicators of household amenities and civic amenities was studied to examine the access to these amenities by the slum dwellers of the study area. To find out the quality of life composite index method is applied and comparison between slums has been done using normal mathematical expression. The study revealed that about 21.67% household survive with untreated drinking water. Hygiene is the major priority of modern human civilization but 65% households of slums are not having proper latrine facility. Lack of drainage facility is also a matter of concern for the selected slums. Government of India should focus the slum areas for the overall development of the cities and the nation as a whole.
