The 44th Amendment dropped the Right to private property from the list of Fundamental Rights. This amendment was passed in 1978 and it made changes to several provisions of the Indian Constitution.

However, compulsory social service is not an example of a beggar because it typically refers to a mandatory period of community service or volunteering that individuals are required to complete as part of their civic duty.
