Description Beggary is an important social phenomenon and one of the major social problems for all over the developed, underdeveloped and developing countries in the world. Bangladesh is a developing country in the South Asia, affected by the beggary problem due to the poor socio-economic conditions, poverty, lack of working opportunities etc. Sylhet city is an important city in Bangladesh as natural resource and foreign remittance are important part in the national economy, but is not free from beggary problems. Among the beggar’s family more than 60% are involved in begging  due to low income (Taka 1000-3000/$12.8-38.5- 14.3%) and inadequate property (62.86%) as such as- land, deposit money, investment and other exchangeable assets etc. to make-up the imbalance of monthly income and expenditure.
