Begging on streets is a symptom of social and personal disorganization. It reminds us of an ill organized society in which the prevalence of various political, socio-economic and psychological factors have pushed a person to choose beggary as a means to ensure their survival. Begging is one of the most endemic multifaceted social problems with great magnitude, but is less understood in all terms. Increasing poverty and ever widening social gap has made begging a mainstay for a large section of the population. The larger the chunk of population involved in begging the heavier the burden on the working population and lesser the usage of human resources for constructive human development. Such a multi-layered problem in society requires layered treatment so as to reduce the evil of begging in society. Thus, Bhikshavratti Mukti Abhiyan aims at providing interventions for the multifaceted problem of begging by targeting multiple facets of an individual’s life who is engaged in begging. The major areas of target will be social, psychological and economical as all of these areas require interventions to effectively rebuild an identity, which got suppressed when the individual engaged in begging. The intervention plan for various facets will be:

• Psychological: In depth counselling and psychotherapy is provided to every beneficiary so as to help them overcome their mental stress and trauma and work on their behavioral patterns of substance abuse.
• Social: An attempt is made to reconnect the beneficiaries with their families and families are also provided counselling in case a need arises. They are also provided with various ID proofs such as Aadhaar, PAN card, Bank account etc so as to help them build and show their identity in society.
• Economical: every beneficiary’s skills are mapped and accordingly employment and micro businesses are provided to sustain a dignified living.
