He knocks my car window in Tidel Traffic ,Hopeless…poor awaiting for something from me………Yes ! He is a begger.Now in India,the Beggars count is more……can u assume it ? …not thousands or lakhs …its 6 million…The average income of a begger is 40 rupees per day.Even people below the poor segment thought of begging ,since it seems to be a sophisticated job for them…yes it’s a JOB,even more a Professional JOB.
A Professional begger average earning is $3 per day.For a month its alomost calculated as 4000 rupees,Its more than a self esteemed hard labour.When I joined in a Multi national CMM level 5 company,for almost one year I was booked for 3000 per month.Its really crazy to look into my past.The only thing is, he don’t have a bank account….who knows ? He may have that too….

But Seriously looking into this issue…It’s thing that should be possibly eliminated in future days.Now a days Womens and child Beggars are emerging more…that is definietely a shame for our country,that should be controlled and have to be dissolved…and of course this responsibility should be taken care by the social welfare department.But still government is doing a good job in taking care of these people,but still the affordobility is very less, when compare to the over all count of 6 million.
Even worst thing is ,Beggars who are physically fit were indulging themselves in criminal activities just to count their bucks to live.

This has to be avoided and should consider as a severe issue.Most embrassing thing is ,some policemen were in league with beggars and shared their collections, to be open they are the professional beggars. Coming to the point……

The Social Welfare department runs 11 certified custodial and residential institutions for beggars with a capacity of 2,200.At these institutions, various facilities are provided to the inmates - like shelter, boarding, lodging, food, medical care, recreation, health, vocational training and counseling to keep them away from begging. They are also taught trades like cycle repair, book-binding, tailoring and cutting and handloom weaving. Officials manning these centers.

But after enjoying government hospitality for a while, beggars return to their old ways. Some beggars have become permanent fixtures in these homes as lodging and food is free. They are satisfied with the lazy capabilities ..But still counseling will make them a proper citizen of India.
Government should improve this custodial and welfare institutions and should accommodate more members to give them a livelihood life and JOB.

Every Indian should have responsibility in making this possible.Dont lend money for the lazy’ies, don’t make them compromise with their lifestyles.
