India’s cleanest city, Indore of Madhya Pradesh, will file a first information report (FIR) against a person for giving money and alms to beggars from 1st January 2025. The district administration issued the order to criminalise giving alms and money to beggars under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).
Indore is one of the 10 cities in India where the government has launched the Bhiksha Vriti Mukta Bharat pilot project.
The Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment has launched a pilot project named “Comprehensive Rehabilitation of Persons Engaged in the Act of Begging” in 10 cities in India. These cities are Indore, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Lucknow, Mumbai, Nagpur, Patna and Ahmedabad.
The aim of the scheme is to make India beggar-free (Bhiksha Vriti Mukta Bharat).
The Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment has launched an ambitious Bhiksha Vriti Mukta Bharat campaign to make 30 cities of India beggar-free by 2026 under the “Central Sector Scheme for Comprehensive Rehabilitation of persons engaged in the act of Begging. “
The Scheme is a sub-scheme of the broader central government scheme SMILE - Support for Marginalized Individuals for Livelihood and Enterprise”.
The Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment launched the SMILE scheme in February 2022.
Under the ‘Bhiksha-Vritti Mukt Bharat’ (begging-free) campaign, persons engaged in begging will be rehabilitated by the government through counselling, provision of basic facilities like shelter, rehabilitation, substance abuse prevention, hygiene, food, clothing, bedding, medical facilities, education and skill development of the beggars.
The initiative will involve the Central and State Governments, local bodies, NGOs working in the field, social activists and the public.
According to the government of India, as of 4 December 2024, the scheme is being implemented in 81 cities/towns of religious, historical and tourist importance.
