Regional analysis of various places of begging

Abstract: 

The present empirical study aims to analyze the places of begging selected by beggars for begging activity. The study is based on primary source of data, collected through the field survey and direct questionnaire to the respondents in the Aligarh district of Uttar Pradesh during 2009. The study reveals that majority of the beggars preferred to go for begging in the residential areas, markets and religious places and remaining in the functions, railway station, etc. A bulk of beggars preferred to go for begging outside their native places and the share of beggars who move even the other states of India for begging purpose is recorded high in the urban areas as compare to the rural areas of the district.
