and on the other side, we have to discourage the beggars so that their
earnings from begging gets reduced so as to force them out of begging. I am
not against your opinion of offering higher base salary. but, in the
existing situation, where it is very difficult for even a sighted person to
get a job with Rs. 10000 to 15000, it may not always be practically
feasible.
it is disheartening to hear those beggars saying they are not willing to
work for such salaries. that is why I don't encourage any beggar even if he
is blind by giving money. according to me, begging should be less profitable
for any person than any other productive job. otherwise, those other jobs
loose supply of labour under the competitive assumptions and in the absence
of barriers to labour mobility. it should be little less than meager
subsistence level so that these people don't spend earning out of their
begging for bad habits; and they are ready to work for a subsistence
earning.

Hi Umesha,
I suspect we need to offer a higher base salary to attract blind beggers
away from begging. This is potentially a research topic.
