πŸ…ΎοΈChandra Mishra, a social worker from Odisha, has come up with a unique concept -- Beggars Corporation. And his slogan is β€˜Don't Donate, Invest. And in the process, he has turned around the lives of 14 beggar families. Mishra returned the money to his initial investors within six months with a 16.5 per cent return on investment- Initially , he couldn't convince a single beggar to work with him- In 2021, when the Covid-19 lockdown was imposed for the second time, many beggars approached him for help. And Beggars Corporation was born in August, 2021.

πŸ…ΎοΈA woman who used to beg on the ghats of Varanasi with her child was the first participant in Mishra's campaign. Her husband had thrown her out of the house, so the woman had no place to go. Mishra trained her in making bags and gave her a job as well.

πŸ…ΎοΈToday he has turned 14 beggar families into entrepreneurs.
