The term 'beggar' typically evokes notions of hardship and extreme struggle to survive. But Bharat Jain, a man from Mumbai, has turned that definition on its head. Bharat Jain is known as the richest beggar in India, and possibly in the world, according the The Economic Times, he has created an unexpected fortune. He possesses property worth crores, he earns more money than many of India's well-educated professionals, his story is a shocking example of how things are not always what they appear.
Bharat Jain battled extreme poverty, which restricted him from gaining a formal education. But he did not let those obstacles prevent him from having a future. With grit, he established not only a life for himself but a life of greater fortunes for his family. He got married and raised two sons, who both became educated. Now, he is estimated to have a net worth of ₹7.5 crore, with earnings sometimes exceeding ₹60,000 to ₹75,000 per month—which is often greater than what other professionals earn in most parts of India.

Bharat Jain has made a few brilliant financial moves on top of his income from begging- he has two apartments in Mumbai that are valued at almost ₹1.4 crore, and his two shops in Thane contribute ₹30,000 in monthly rent. While most people would be astonished to see a wealthy person beg for money, Bharat Jain is often seen begging in high-traffic and busy locations, like Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus and Azad Maidan in Mumbai. Bharat Jain lives in the Parel neighborhood, and his children have studied in a convent school. And he is also in the stationery business with his family, supplementing his household income. Bharat Jain is an outstanding example of resilience and determination. He migrated from a financially impoverished situation, to becoming wealthy and putting his family in a better place for meeting life's challenges. His life challenges our perspectives by demonstrating that perseverance will yield the possibility of greater opportunities- possibly for wealth.

‘New SOPs, higher spending limit set to empower ULBs'

Lucknow: In a significant step to strengthen the financial and administrative autonomy of urban local bodies (ULBs), the urban development department has increased the spending limits. By revising the standard operating procedure after a gap of four years, the department has made provisions to provide additional flexibility and authority to nagar palikas (city councils) and nagar panchayats (town councils). "Increasing their spending limit, the govt has given the authority to nagar panchayats to undertake works up to Rs 1 crore while nagar palikas can take up works up to Rs 2 crore. Their spending limit was capped at Rs 40 lakh so far," an official said. To uphold the integrity of urban development projects, the revised SOP mandates a shared accountability framework. In cases of substandard construction or measurement discrepancies, 50% of the financial recovery will be made from the contractor and the remaining 50% from the engineers and administrative officers concerned. The recovery process will be overseen by the district magistrate and, if required, recovery would be done from the erring contractors and companies by attaching their properties as per the revenue recovery code and laws. The newly introduced SOP also paves way to acclerate the pace of development with the help of latest technology and tools. Sharing an example, a senior officer from the department said that a method that encourages recycling of old debris and bitumen for road construction would be followed. Urban bodies have been instructed to maintain ward-wise road directories, complete documentation, and conduct GIS mapping of infrastructure for long-term monitoring and project execution. Principal secretary, urban development, Amrit Abhijat said that the SOP and reforms notified recently would not only enhance the financial independence of local bodies but also improve the quality, transparency, and effectiveness of urban governance.
