Chandra Mishra, a journalist from Odisha founder of Beggar Corporations NGO. In many parts of India, begging is a common sight. Despite various government initiatives and NGOs working to eradicate poverty and homelessness, begging is still prevalent in many cities. However, a few individuals have taken it upon themselves to create change in their communities by transforming beggars into entrepreneurs.

Chandra Mishra, a journalist from Odisha, is one such individual. Mishra has created a Beggars Corporation, which aims to turn beggars into entrepreneurs. The corporation helps beggars start small businesses and earn a livelihood, rather than depend on alms for survival.

Varanasi-based NGO Beggars Corporation:

One such NGO is based in Varanasi, a city in Uttar Pradesh. The NGO provides training to beggars in various skills such as tailoring, making candles, and incense sticks. Once the training is complete, the NGO provides the necessary resources and funds to start a small business. The beggars can then sell their products and earn a livelihood.

The NGO has been successful in transforming the lives of many beggars, who are now proud entrepreneurs. The NGO has also created awareness among the public about the need to empower beggars instead of giving them alms.
