Beggars are not just a nuisance to our society they are a shame on our society. Only around 2-5 % of beggars are into begging because of their inefficiency to work. Others are into begging because of their choice.
Small children of 1 month to grown up kids are used by beggar’s mafia or their parents & are taught every possible way to steal, beg & cheat. Eradicating begging is to secure future of these children, as they are our responsibility. Just by giving 1-2 rupee or 50 rupee once will not make their life.
Old people who should share their experience & knowledge with young generations are using their age to beg money from the society.
Drugs is very common now a days, especially in Jabalpur, within begging / rag pickers. They can be found near any dustbin or drain from evening to night, using all sorts of drugs & injections. They not only ruin their life, but their need of money makes them do all anti social activities like robbery, theft, kidnapping etc.
Police & Politics are not giving much attention to them because they neither give money nor votes. But beggary is a social disease & is a responsibility of both Police, Politicians & society as of whole.
Cure: No one puts a FIR with Police as no one wants to get involve with legal hassles. All are sympathetic with beggars about they should not be sent to jail. BUT what if a REHABILITATION CENTRE is set up for them with providing them work with training at that center only?
We need to talk to NGOs running old age home & Orphanage to keep these beggars with them. NGOs like Abhian - Samaj Seva Samiti , Bharat Vikas Parishad, Rotary clubs can provide training & help to provide work to them. We will talk to all the social clubs to do all their activities with these rehabilitated beggars.
We are involving all socially active people into this project to make our Jabalpur an ideal city in the world, 1st in India – A Beggar – free Jabalpur.
Friends, I expect suggestions & guidance from you for this initiative. Any constructive And Positive suggestion will be welcomed and applied.
Thanks & Regards

Firstly Congratulations on coming up with such a gr8 thought. I support your thought completely.
But there r few questns in my mind that came while going thru the post.
If v put up rehabilitation centres across then wont every other person close to poverty line start living there ? Since such a centre will b a sure source of food ,clothing and shelter many will opt not to work. How will we decide then whom to take in n whom to not?
Secondly , many ppl give d pauper money , food n clothes outside temples n on d road that in turn attracts others to come n sit 4 d opportunites. Eg. Like outside Sai baba temple every thursday. I hv seen young ppl just sitting 4 food n if v give only bread they ask 4 tea along. no matter wat u give them they wtout hesitation demand more. Small children club arnd and cause chaos. After going thru all this many times I lose my patience as they start touching and that feeling of giving the needy food n clothes is lost....
Thirdly, many times ppl give d beggars their share so that they simply get away n don't disturb. Like on railway platforms , children n beggars won't leave u untill u give them something.
It's going to b a BIG CHALLENGE dealing wt these needy ppl of d society.I want that they shud b given some work (may b small ) so that they are not idle and hv secure n perennial source of necessities.
Good Luck 4 d project.
Keep sharing your activities and posts.

Hi,
thanks for your concern..
I did thought over it too. Solutions are :
1) After initial 6-12 months, the rehab center will be self financing. Thus, if someone poor, though not a beggar, wants to stay there, no problem.
2) all will be taught handicraft or small scale industry work. They have to work to stay there.
3) those who still opt to beg, will be sent to jail with the help of cops.
we are giving option to the beggars, who still don't avail it, will be dealt with accordingly.
:)
This is still a dream, but I work to convert my dreams to reality. With the support & wishes of friends like you..
thanks

Hi !
I m keeping my fingers crossed....Very well planned.I think this shud work definitely....
You need to gather more of youth to make yr dream come true. I think starting off by creating awareness abt yr dream ' Beggar Free Jabalpur - India's First ' will be good. Create a BUZZ abt this whole concept thru adds in newspapers, on Radio n local TV channels..etc. Invite more n more volunteers.... If you r able to market it well...in very short time it will come true...
Always in support,
Madhulika.
Is this organization still in progress..???
Not exactly. But I'm equally involved in social cause like this through rotary, RSS, BJP..
