5 years ago today, I launched Mission Unemployment-Free Varanasi. It was a constructive #MUVment aimed at making the constituency of the PM, @narendramodi, a laboratory for National Employment Policy.

Before arriving in the city, I wrote to the DM @deo_varanasi seeking government support to create 80,000–100,000 secured, sustainable jobs in the district.

5 years have gone by. Not a single reply.

I can only hope the government didn't feel the need to respond because there is absolutely nobody #unemployed left in the constituency of the Hon'ble Prime Minister @PMOIndia. 🤔🇮🇳

@PriyankKharge This man came to the PM's constituency in 2021 to create a model for employment policy of India. The govt didn't support him. To prove his point, he launched a startup @BeggarsCorp and turned beggars into GST-paying entrepreneurs. Will you take him to Karnataka?

"Providing alternative livelihood to all the beggars is the responsibility of a welfare state — not of @BeggarsCorp.

"We don't take govt grants, CSR or donations, nor do we have police for criminal verification, shelter homes, authority to issue Aadhaar/BPL/bank loan to beggars.

"As a social impact For-Profit #startup, we have shown a scalable model of #PovertyAlleviation without charity. #PovertyToProperty

"114 former beggars are now entrepreneurs, ₹8Cr+ annual turnover, paying GST and repaying their mentor-investors with ROI.

"Imagine what the the government could do with its resources & authority.

“Let the government, municipal corporations & corporates come forward. We can make their cities begging‑free — not through charity, but by capitalizing human resources,” I said in a recent podcast with Kolkata based Gurvinder Singh of #Chalgenious.

What Should Be The Right #EmploymentPolicy For India?

Economic growth without proportionate and sustainable #employment is nothing but exploitation. Exploitation of the national resources by a favored few. Exploitation of the human resources. And, backstabbing the future of the country.

A country is not just a piece of land; it is the collective potential of its people.  Gainful and productive employment is the only way to democratize the economy and make growth equitable.

The Commonman Trust invites every public-spirited #economist #entrepreneur #educationist #investor #banker, expert in #LabourLaw #Taxation #JobMarket #HumanResource to join this citizen-led policy initiative to prepare a roadmap for #NationBuilding through #CareerBuilding.

Listen to our founder @employonomics in #KashiKeKarndhar Episode-10.

"वाराणसी की धरती पर एक ऐसी क्रांति जन्म ले रही है, जो भारत की स��च और सिस्टम दोनों को आईना दिखा रही है।
"चंद्र मिश्रा – एक ऐसा नाम, जो भिखारियों को भीख के कटोरे से निकालकर कॉर्पोरेट दुनिया की मुख्यधारा में ला रहे हैं। आज वही लोग, जो कभी सड़क पर हाथ फैलाते थे, अब —
✅ काम कर रहे हैं
✅ उत्पादक नागरिक बन चुके हैं
✅ सरकार से सहायता नहीं, बल्कि Tax भर रहे हैं
"यह सिर्फ एक इंटरव्यू नहीं, यह है भारत के सामाजिक नव निर्माण की कहानी।"

"If begging is a crime, Article 21 of Indian Constitution is a crime. Failure of our welfare governance is also a crime," asserts @employonomics, Founder & CEO of Beggars Corporation at the @vowlitfest in Dehradun.

In a veiled reference to the @IndoreCollector, he challenged the criminalisation of beggary:
> Called it a colonial mindset, tracing it back to the British-imposed Bengal Vagrancy Act, 1943, during the man-made Bengal Famine.
> Pointed out 22 states, including #Uttarakhand, still adopt this unconstitutional approach to extreme poverty.
> Cited the 2018 ruling of Delhi High Court and 2021 observations of Supreme Court who refused to ban begging.

True, everybody cannot do everything. But everybody can do something. We, at @BeggarsCorp, are going to connect those "somethings" into a Big Thing—an #EmploymentExchange for #beggars.
Current Demand-Supply Gap for Blue-Collar Workers in India: 150 million
No. of Beggars to be Trained & Employed: 100,000 (0.07% of the shortage) in 3 years (2026-29)
Budget: ₹100 million ($1.14m)
Estimated Revenue to be Generated: ₹2368 million ($26.88m)
If the beggars could become tax-paying entrepreneurs, they could certainly be disciplined and determined workers.

Celebrating #IndependenceDay in letter & spirit:
Beggars Corporation appoints a former beggar as its Director.

In a groundbreaking development, the Board of Beggars Corporation has appointed Mirchmala Didi, a beggar-turned-entrepreneur, as its Director. This significant announcement was made by our founder & CEO, @employonomics, during the #BeggingFreeDay celebrations on August 12th at Dr. Ambedkar International Centre in New Delhi.

Hon'ble Minister Dr. @Drvirendrakum13, @pib_MoSJE, and Hon'ble Justice V. Ramasubramanian, Chairperson of the @India_NHRC, congratulated Mirchmala didi on her appointment.

Let's celebrate the rise of a #NewIndia. An India where the poor can rise beyond the poverty trap, charity and livelihood. Where the poor can be both creator & owner of wealth. And become truly #independent to take decisions for himself.

Jai Hind!

विगत दिवस नई दिल्ली स्थित डॉ.भीमराव अंबेडकर अंतर्राष्ट्रीय केंद्र DAIC में बेगर्स कॉर्पोरेशन नेट की ओर से आयोजित पुस्तक लोकार्पण एवं भिक्षावृत्ति मुक्त दिवस कार्यक्रम में सहभागिता की।

राष्ट्रीय मानवाधिकार आयोग के अध्यक्ष न्यायमूर्ति वी.राम सुब्रह्मण्यम जी की अध्यक्षता में आयोजित इस कार्यक्रम में लोकार्पित पुस्तक The Last Beggar पर चर्चा हुई और उपस्थित महानुभावों ने भिक्षावृत्ति से मुक्ति का संकल्प व्यक्त किया।

भिक्षावृत्ति मुक्त समाज के संवेदनशील प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी के संकल्प का स्मरण करव���ते हुए मैंने कहा कि सरकार के माध्यम से लाभवंचित व्यक्तियों की आजीविका,उद्यम के लिए सहायता और उनके पुनर्वास हेतु 'स्माइल' योजना प्रभावी तरीके से क्रियान्वित की जा रही है। लेकिन इसके साथ ही समाज,स्वैच्छिक संस्थाओं और धार्मिक संगठनों का भी यह दायित्व है कि वे भिक्षावृत्ति को हतोत्साहित कर ऐसे लोगों को आत्मनिर्भर बनाने में सहयोग करें। ये अच्छी बात है कि समाज की ओर से अच्छे प्रयासों के सकारात्मक परिणाम मिल रहे हैं ।

इस अवसर पर बेगर्स कॉर्पोरेशन द्वारा भिक्षावृत्ति से मुक्त उन बंधुओं से भी मुलाकात की जिन्हें आजीविका प्रदान की गई है और वो सम्मान एवं स्वाभिमान के साथ जीवनयापन कर रहे हैं।

[Dr. Virendra Kumar @Drvirendrakum13]

नई दिल्ली के शास्त्री भवन स्थित मेरे कार्यालय कक्ष में आज Beggars Corporation के संस्थापक श्री चंद्र मिश्रा ने अपनी टीम के साथ मुलाकात की।

इस अवसर पर श्री मिश्रा ने भिक्षामुक्ति पर केंद्रित पुस्तक The Last Beggar भी भेंट की। श्री मिश्रा पहले ऐसे व्यक्ति बताए जाते हैं जिन्होंने राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर समाज को भिक्षामुक्त करने का संकल्प लेकर भीख मांगने वाले बंधु भगिनी को उद्यमी बनाने का बड़ा काम किया है।

इस पुण्य कार्य का प्रभाव ये हुआ हैं कि ये नव उद्यमी सरकार को GST का भुगतान करने के साथ-साथ अन्य लोगों को भी रोजगार देने का कार्य कर रहे हैं।
