Then they shouldn't be in Mumbai in the first place. Live where you have the best chance of supporting your family and where you don't have to put your life at risk.

This is how life works. You move to the place where you have the best chance of survival and where your talents can be appreciated enough for you to make a living so you can live the happiest life possible.

You yourself said sleeping on footpaths is dumb and idiotic! So you are mocking the homeless people, arent you? 

You said there are a thousand other places to sleep...can you list some?

Are there any homeless shelters in Mumbai? Is there any government program for them to have a shelter close to their workplaces? 

Parks and playgrounds are off-limits to the homeless, night duty cops will drive them out of there.

Any other options?

That why I said government is responsible on a huge scale too. A thousand was just a figure of speech.

And do you really think each and every park/ ground (read ground) has a police officer stationed to keep people away from sleeping at night. I was in Mumbai last year and saw people laying out sheets and sleeping in a ground. No one seemed to stop them.

One Google search tells there are such shelters in Mumbai and by the looks of it some are unoccupied as well. Of-course noway near enough but still.

These laborers are mostly from impoverished villages and drought-struck rural areas of India.

They leave their villages and come to Mumbai as they can earn a bare minimum wage for their own survival and send some money back home. 

Back home in their villages they would be starving because their crops fail due to drought OR evil, bloodsucking moneylenders and landlords take most of their crops from farming.

Everyday, hundreds of such poor desperate villagers migrate to big cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata to earn some money working on construction sites, or doing other hard labor jobs.

 Sometimes whole families migrate to the city, parents work hard labor, kids work in tea stalls etc. 

They dont have enough money to rent the smallest room, moreover in overcrowded cities there often aren't enough living spaces available to fit the miniscule budget of such poor folks.

These people are not well educated that they have the talents to go and live anywhere they want and do office jobs.

One needs to understand the underlying factors and situation of these homeless rural/urban poor to be more sympathetic to their plight. 

I do and I am sympathetic to them. That is why I said what I did.

Do you really think homeless people prefer sleeping on streets rather than parks? They may be uneducated but still value their life. If there is a safer alternative, they would obviously go to it.
