beggar. It was because of Sergei that Lushkoff could earn thirty five

Q1.How can we help beggars/abolish begging?
Answer:
The whole world is facing the nuisance of begging. The number of
beggars is increasing day by day. Beggars can be seen at all public
places. Some of the beggars have made it a business. It has become a
serious problem. Our society and the government should take necessary
steps to solve this problem. Global spread of education is required. Our
government should pass strict laws against begging. Beggars should be
given an opportunity to work. Financial support can be provided to them
in order to set up some work. Beggars may be turned into skilled
labourers. The government should set up beggar‟s home only for the
handicapped. Begging is a bad practice and is an impediment in the way
of progress. So, we should discourage begging and beggars.
