Naton Ki Mandia is a village in Gaziabad district lying in the National Capital region of India. In spite of being so close to the Capital, this village still has cluster of families living Below Poverty Line(Antodaya). 250 such Antodaya families belonging to caste group called 'Nat' live with no access to basic necessities like water, drainage or electricity. The village has access to the main electricity line supply but it caters to the better off caste group.
