Indian Beggar starts a Bank Account

Indian Beggar Starts a Bank Account….

Though India may be termed as one of the fastest developing countries and has become a Information Technology HUB, Poverty and beggars are still out there and cannot be eradicated. This is a sad story of a poor beggar in Calcutta who was attacked by polio. As a disabled child she started begging at the age of 16 and this continued for 40 years. Finally she has manage to save 91kg (200lb) which consists of coins that were minted from 1961 mostly which were out of date.

However the bank officials generously accepted her amount. When asked the bank manager said, “ Even though she is a beggar we should accept her confidence and the habit of saving which has lead her here. Our Bank is open to everyone, may be a beggar or billionaire.

Why any government does does not try out a solution to take all these beggars and give them a new life by providing with small jobs. Will the Government hear this?????
