BEGGING- A SERIOUS SOCIAL PROBLEM

                                                                                                                                 -by Varsha Singla

When we give money to beggars do we think – Are we really helping the needy? Are they really the people who need help? Are they the one who really need our help? No, we don’t. But please think again as our generosity can also be wrong. Now-a-days, many people are opting begging as their profession even if they are healthy. If he/she is illiterate then he/she can do some manual work at least for earning money that is of one’s own hard work. But as we become generous, they think-“What’s the need to do hard work?” Moreover, our generosity has resulted in- More and more number of beggars on the earth, Exploitation of children for begging purpose, Exploitation of a child’s future, increased cases of petty crimes on street, Destruction of free flow of traffic, Increase in road accidents and many more. So, before your sentiments come up

REMEMBER- ‘YOUR HELP MAKES A PERSON BEGGAR FOR LIFETIME.’

Though begging alms by religious monks is an old age tradition in India but now, it is the need of hour to have a total ban on begging. So-

‘PLEASE DON’T GIVE MONEY TO THE BEGGARS’

And hence, support our government to curb the problem and to help the country.
