CHILDHOOD is an important part
of one’s lifetime experience. It is the most important and impressionable period
of learning. Although children have many rights, in developing countries these
rights are often denied. Children are made to work or forced to beg when they
should in school.
It is unfortunate to see that children are begging in the country in greater
numbers. This is backed by some unscrupulous persons who run a business of using
innocent boys and girls to beg.
The aim of many organizations and NGOS is to abolish this practice and it has to
be a continuous process which ensures that the problem is removed from its
roots. We should help these children by providing them education.
The government should take appropriate measures to eradicate begging by children
since these minors need special attention.
