Answer 2

There are no steps to be taken to eradicate beggars on the streets of India, for several reasons.
First, the most obvious one, economics. India has an enormous population, and like many countries including our own, the country's infrastructure does not support everyone who needs help.
Second you have a class system in India that keeps certain people from mingling with people in other classes. The bottom class, the "untouchables", are give little or no consideration at all when it comes to even basic needs. Although it may seem to others that this policy is cruel and should be eliminated, it is deeply ingrained into Indian culture, and wont end anytime in the near future. So even if India had a huge economic boom, and there was lots of funding for state programs to help the unfortunate, there would still be a class of people who would get little or no assistance, either by state aid or employment. So, for some who are willing to work, being a beggar is still the only choice because their own culture prevents others from helping them.

Answer 3

Well, I Doubt the Indian Goverment has any clue how to solve this one !
The erradication of poverty and corruption is last on the list ! And from what I have learned also the last of the mind of most Indians I know !
The culture of giving to Beggars runs thick and deep in India!
So many here feel better about themselves by giving to beggars, by giving a few coins !
However rather than really helping, this is just a lame way absolving all responsibility for taking steps to eradicate poverty in India. Giving to beggars in no way moves these poor people one step away from a desperate impoverished life.
Very few want to tackle this issue.
However some progress : the new Indian wealth can be fined for giving to the beggars who swarm around cars at red lights !
The only thing to reduce the amount of beggars on the streets here is to
make a step towards at least attempting to alleviate poverty,
discourage the culture of giving to beggars for "karma brownie points" and
end the system of corrupt "beggar masters" who are thugs and collect earnings from these beggars in return for "protection" ie they pay off the cops to allow the beggars to sleep on the side walk at night rather than be sent on their way;

Answer 4

The real steps are to be taken by the Society, not by Govt.

The free money, which gets without any work / service, should not be desired by any person, however poor he is, having self esteem. Society should make him understand the value of earning money by doing some useful work and should not encourage begging.

Instead provide him some job, if possible.

The highly rich people spend a lot of money for unproductive
purposes, quite often , in the name of entertainment / luxurious life.

A very small amount is sufficient for changing a poor man's fate.

Still the exploitation continues and the rich becomes richer and the poor remains poor.

Answer 5

I'm not familiar with why the poor in India are poor.
In America, the homeless are that way usually because they're crack addicts, unwanted mental patients, disabled, or are pretending. Social medicine could help it.
But in India, to my understanding, most of the poor DO work. They just can't make enough to really get by. Is there currently a minimum wage set by the government? I hear you can't get a normal education (before college) without some money. So you have uneducated poor folk with no one to employ them or tell them what to do next. Those that employ them exploit them.
It's common practice for American companies to go overseas and pay only slightly higher than what they were being paid locally, because if they paid more they'd help the economy and could no longer exploit that group. Maybe that's happening locally there too.
Put yourself in their shoes and go from there.

Answer 6

It would seem to me that I would combat that by only going 50 feet here and there.Sure it limits your experiences,but it will keep you from worrying about problems above your head. Seems to me that instead of asking your government to take care of it,you need to research what you can do on your own to give these people a chance.Each has a story and a personality.Some just need someone to listen to them or give them an example to jumpstart their life again.However in the same instance,you can only lead a horse to water,they have to drink. Meaning that if a person does not use your time wisely then you need to go away. Look in yourself for a solution instead of outside.

Answer 7

Answer 8

More govt. spending on welfare programs so they will have a healthy and productive workforce, this coupled with an increase in foreign investment helps create jobs. Plus, with India's booming economy job creation should be easy.

Answer 9

Stop making beggars out of the people..........give them some sort of job.

Answer 10

.Distribute all the wealth you have stored up in a much fairer way. Get the infrastructure set up to help people to work instead of demeaning themselves through necessity, by begging
