Lucknow, 5 Jul: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday said his government is constantly taking action against gangs that force kids into begging and stressed that begging is dangerous for the future of children.
\nDistributing certificates and educational kits to children rescued from beggary under \u2018Mukhya Mantri Bal Seva Yojana\u2019 and \u2018Smile Project\u2019, Adityanath said that begging was a part of Indian tradition in the ancient times.
\n\u201cThrough this, a \u2018sannyasi\u2019 could understand the philosophy of society by abandoning his ego\u2026but today, it is different, begging is harmful for children\u2019s future,\u201d he said. \u201cThe government is giving a platform for nurturing children who are freed from beggary, through the Smile Project. Our government is constantly taking action against gangs that force kids to beg by crippling them,\u201d the chief minister was quoted as saying in an official release.
\nExpressing happiness over 102 children who were rescued from beggary, he said, \u201cOur government is improving the future of these children by connecting them with voluntary organizations. Since 2017, the Basic Education Council has been providing dresses, bags, books, sweaters, shoes, and socks to all children so that even the most impoverished among them can learn and make a positive contribution to society. Today, 1.91 crore children in the state benefit from this facility.\u201d Adityanath said one should move forward with optimism if one wants to succeed in life. \u201cIf merit is the only consideration, we will be able to free Lucknow from beggary,\u201d he said.
