The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 5 Oct 2020Four families of the nomadic Durmurgi tribe in northern Karnataka recently gave up their traditional occupation of begging. They were victims of the lockdown imposed as a measure to contain spread of the coronavirus. These families would walk, from village to village, as their forebears had done for ages, subsisting on alms. The lockdown pushed them to starvation. Good-intentioned government officials gave them a reorientation with regard to the virtues of hard work that would help them earn a living. These families were enrolled as labour under the national rural employment guarantee scheme. Reports said the families were happy to embrace a socially dignified means of livelihood.
