Our Field work team has taken survey about beggars in around various districts in Tamil Nadu. After every survey, beggars on the streets are counseled. We regularly visit them and exchange the love between us. A bond between the beggars and our team members is established at first, because their only expectation is love and proper care. They are groomed by our team as an initial step in rescuing for their good appearance from a shabby one. Our team members provide them food, dresses, counseling and medical care during the field work.
The destitute beggars along the pavements of the road are first analyzed by our field work team. We start the rehabilitation process by checking their physical fitness, mental health condition, and start (advice) counseling them to change their illness state both physically as well as mentally. Our team continuously counsels and collects data about their family, abilities and inabilities. Some expects money and a few longs for love and affection. 50 % of beggars express their anger and 50% of beggars gives wrong data about them. From the analyzed data, we provide support to job opportunities in other private firms for those who are physically fit to do work. Physically and mentally challenged people will be admitted in various orphanage homes depending upon their natural disability. So far we have rehabilitated 208 beggars lifestyle.
