With the aim of eradicating begging, creating alternative employment opportunities, and promoting self-reliance among financially disadvantaged people, the City Social Services Office, Sirajganj, has provided two new auto-rickshaws to two beneficiaries in Sirajganj.

The auto-rickshaws were distributed under the Beggar Rehabilitation and Alternative Employment Programme. Md. Aminul Islam, Deputy Commissioner of Sirajganj, attended the event as the chief guest and formally handed over the keys of the new auto-rickshaws to the beneficiaries recently.

Ganapati Ray, Additional Deputy Commissioner (General), was present as the special guest.
This initiative has created new opportunities for the two beneficiaries to earn a respectable livelihood and become financially self-reliant.

The primary objective of this Department of Social Services programme is to provide alternative income-generating opportunities to individuals engaged in begging, facilitate their reintegration into mainstream society, and ensure their access to a dignified life.

The programme was implemented under the supervision of Md. Alauddin, Social Services Officer, City Social Services Office, Sirajganj.

The District Administration, Sirajganj, provided overall support and cooperation in implementing the initiative.

Relevant stakeholders believe that such initiatives not only create employment opportunities for disadvantaged individuals but also represent a positive step towards building a beggar-free society and establishing a more humane and inclusive community.
