Program on Rehabilitation and Alternative Employment of the People Engaged in Begging

Begging has been practiced in human society since ancient times. It has a long history in the subcontinent as well. Due to exploitation, deprivation and river erosion, poverty, disease, illiteracy etc. during the British and Pakistan period, begging has become widespread. In the present times, begging has spread widely as a distraction from some people's work and as a money-making tool for a group of vested interests. Begging is a social disease. It is not a recognized profession. Currently, social and economic development of Bangladesh has taken place. There has been a transition from the position of least developed countries to the list of developing countries. Time has come to free the country from the shame of begging.

In order to implement the government's commitment to reduce poverty in the country and to wean people from unworthy occupations such as begging, the Ministry of Social Welfare has undertaken a program entitled "Rehabilitation and Alternative Employment of Begging Population" with funding from the revenue sector of the government. The program started from August 2010 AD. Even though the beggar rehabilitation program started in 2010, it did not reach much. The present philanthropic government is very serious about eradicating social evils like begging forever. Taking this into consideration, for the first time in the financial year 2017-2018, money was sent to 58 districts of the country for beggar rehabilitation and alternative employment. Chandpur district is also covered by this program. 


Details of allocation and expenditure for beggar rehabilitation and alternative employment in Chandpur district from the beginning till 2023-24 financial year are as follows:
