As per the last census data India has over 4,00,000 beggars with 81,000 only being in West Bengal.

Uttar Pradesh was second on the list with 65,835 beggars followed by Andhra Pradesh with 29,723 and Madhya Pradesh with 28,695. The capital of the country Delhi recorded to have 2,187 beggars but according to other reports, this number goes as high as 60,000 and 80,000 in Mumbai. Child beggars can be seen in every city and town in India. Every year, 44,000 children fall into the clutches of the gangs (cf. Kaushik, 2014). The All-India Citizen Alliance for Progress and Development (AICAPD) and Innovation Mobile Schools, in partnership with the J.K.
