Agony in eyes- face are smiling, Lost childhood in the fog of poverty.

The moment,  when you see a dirty looking child,  a little boy/girl with running nose, a woman with dirty clothes running to you and asking for money.
Nowadays this is a very common sight in Rampur bushar. Begging is one of the very serious issue in Rampur. The beautiful city Rampur is losing it's charm.
The number of begging child is increasing  day by day in this particular region.

When we start to find the roots of this tragedy we found some surprised reason in front of us.
The all begging children belongs to a small slum near "Dakolar". In some cases find the entire family is involved in begging. The family members keep on increasing and the children of the family are guided by their elder's to beg in crowded area, like Old bus stop,  main bazaar and some other places.
Our deep research and humbel conversation with these families concluded that the most of them come from Bihar and Jharkhand in the search of employment and work.
The elders of these groups are blacksmith and some are use to pick garbage.

But children of such family involved In begging. They do not go to school because their family income is not enough  to feed the entire family.

Here poverty is the one big reason behind begging.

Solution and personal suggestions:-
Now a days, strength of the beggar in the Rampur is increasing  at a break - neck speed. The authority must do something to address  the issue.
Only education can solve this issue. The government should provide free and good education for poor. People should be encouraged to educate their childern. More job should be created. Bagging should be banned.
People should support them for education.

In my personal opinion we all should  take suitable step to over come these social issues and bring these young minds back from this darkness.!
