Volume : III, Issue : IV, May - 2013 EMPLOYMENT STATUS AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF BEGGARS: A STUDY IN ALIGARH DISTRICT JABIR HASAN KHAN , MENKA AND FALAK BUTOOL Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Beggars in India are the victim of an imbalanced socio-economic system. They
are the most vulnerable people in our society. They are the example of human
degradation to the lowest extent, and they are a menace to the healthy society. Most of
them are the product of economic deprivation, destitution and neglect (Cama, 1945).
Begging is commonly defined as the act of stopping people on the street to ask for
assistance, for example in the form of food or money (Bose & Hwang, 2002 and Collins
& Blomley, 2003). According to the Census of India (2001), beggars are “vagrants,
prostitutes and person having unidentified source of income and those with unspecified
source of subsistence and not engaged in any economically productive work during
reference period called beggars.” Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : JABIR HASAN KHAN , MENKA AND FALAK BUTOOL, (2013).
