Abstract

Although India is the most powerful country in terms of economic strength, poverty is rising as a result of the country's great economic and demographic boom. This expanding population is causing stumbling blocks in economic progress, with difficulties such as food supply and demand, and begging is one of them, damaging the Indian economic system significantly since human resources are underutilized, further compromising human integrity. Beggars are found in almost all Indian cities and villages. Most of us dislike them because they bring to light an unpleasant truth. Despite our progress and development, we remain a relatively impoverished country. Indeed, we have by far the most people living below the poverty level. More of that is the most serious social issue and is a problem for society since a large number of beggars suggests that human resources and readily available resources are not being exploited in the current context. This research attempts to investigate the causes and reasons of begging, as well as the influence it has on the dignity of those who engage in begging in India, despite government awareness campaigns
