Delhi is the capital city of India and it is a place where all the cultures fuse with each other. Delhi is the home to people from diversified culture and that makes the place really unique. Everyone comes to Delhi for progressing in life and to catch hold of better opportunity but behind those posh residential areas and malls, there is a Delhi which also nurtures the people living Below the Poverty Line.
