In Vidyavihar East after you reach RN Gandhi high school the road to the right leads to D Colony , Chittranjan nagar, ONGC Colony, Shastri Nagar, and the Bhim nagar slum that extends along the water pipeline right upto the point where the Large drain intersects the Water pipeline.

The reason for all these shops is the population residing in bhim nagar ( the slum adjoining the pipeline).Shastri nagar is beyond ongc colony and has a few shops inside it. mostly all these shops cater to the local emergency needs and the main shopping is still done at rajawadi.

The D Colony consists mainly of bungalows and hence the population in this area is more in the slums. the few multi storied apartments in this area are , Yashoda Niwas (a very old building), Neeta appartments , Rajshrri Vihar building and mathur house, ( bungalow converted to an apartment style building).

Vidyavihar gets its name from the somaiya college established in mid sixties and the major traffic on this road is students of somaiya college ( on the east side of the station).

The railway owns a substantial amount of land and there is also a railway quarters located here. in the mid seventiies a series of shops were built on this road, leading up to RN Gandhi high school.

There are also a few offices on the same line that offer services. however as these are not open to general public.

These are some of the shops located on the road. This Road also has a lot of hoardings and billboards mostly displaying ads of tutorials and classes (Remember Somaiya college?)

There is the fatima high school located in the west and many students that reside in the east use this road to get to the school.

There is an entrance to a large slum located on the right side just after the railway compound this is also a shortcut to reach the housing colony at vidyavihar. the large open drain has a bridge that allows you to crossover to the residential area.

The walkway through the slums is pretty neat and apart from the fact that there is cooking going on on the road, there is little resemblance to a slum.
