Block-A, Khadda Basti, is a locality in Suraj Park, which is near Dr. Lal Labs. Residents are economically better off than in other neighbouring communities, but some still struggle to make ends meet.
The Magic Bus programme in Block-A, Khadda Basti was started in 2011. Currently, there are about 75-80 children, of which about 60% are girls. Rocky, the Training and Monitoring Officer in charge of the programme in this community, is assisted by Youth Mentor Reena, and two Community Youth Leaders, both of whom are boys.
The Magic Bus Community Youth Leader organised a Sports Day for children in April 2014. And on May 4, 2014, a friendly football tournament was organised for these children.
