Preface

Child labour is the most dreadful day of the childhood of a child. The misfortune of our country is
that even today, like a spider web, child labour is holding small children in its net and we are all
sitting hand in hand.

Child labour is a poison in a day that is sold for a few rupees, this poison gradually destroys the
child’s childhood, along with it the end of the nation’s newly created future.

In our India, children are considered to be Gods, but from them, their childhood is taken away and
family responsibilities are handed over to them. All the children have the mind to play with toys
and get an education in childhood, but what to do, sir, greed and family responsibilities come to
the fore.

What is child labour?

According to the 24th Article of the Constitution of India, the work of children below 14 years of
age as labourers, factories, hotels, domestic servants, etc., is covered under child labour, if a
person is found doing so There is a provision for appropriate punishment.

But coming out of the book world, we get to see children doing child labour at every turn. The
reality is that people do not even care about the law, that is why child labour is increasing day by
day.

According to the latest report of 2017, more than 35 million children in India do child labour, the
highest is child labour in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan.

parents die due to which they also become orphans and they come in contact with people

which the value of essential commodities is increasing day by day due to which poor people
are unable to maintain their family, so they can keep all their families Let the members do

they do not want to.
 Corruption – One of the reasons of child labour is corruption, only then their owners at big
hotels and factories put the children on wages without any fear, they know that if caught, we
will get bribed. That is why corruption plays an important role in child labour.

are unable to meet the living necessities of their family even they are forced to put their
children in wage work. They think that if a little too much If the money comes in the house,

 Childhood is ruined – The best moment of life is childhood, when we are children, I am
not worried about anything, we play with toys and everybody loves us and we can read

make them work more but do not give them anything to eat due to which their body lacks
energy even more slowly. Slowly they become victims of malnutrition.

labour which is a double hit on them. According to a report, about 40% of child labourers
are physically abused. It is a serious matter, but it is never taken care of, some children
also die during physical abuse.
 Mental harassment – While doing labour, children often make mistakes, even if they make
mistakes, it is easy for the children to stop them, so their bosses who work for them give
them mental torture.

They are called by using various types of abusive language which affects the brain of a small
child. Due to this, they become very large and when they grow up, they indulge in wrong deeds.

 Increasing poverty – Children’s parents hire their children for a few rupees in their
childhood, but they do not know that if they will read and write, they will not get a job and
they will live their whole life. You will have to pay wages, due to which your whole life will be
spent in poverty, that is why in India it is increasing day by day.

unable to read and write, that is why they are not able to do a good job and are not able to
support the development of the country, hence the country’s economic growth also slows
down.

abusive language as well as their living is not good, due to which the children also live with
them due to their language and they’re same As they start living, their mental condition also
becomes weak due to which a good society cannot develop.

Child labour prevention measures –

 Awareness – If child labour is to be stopped, then we have to make people aware because
until this awareness comes in people, children should not get wages and whatever children
 are doing wages. People should complain against their owners, people do not know that the
little, Motu they are lovingly calling.

He is actually a victim of child labour. Therefore, until such time as people are not aware, such
children will continue to work as labourers.

 Proper education system – The education system of our country is still not improving due
to which children of rural areas and separated areas are still unable to read and write, due
to which they fall victim to child labour in their childhood. Education should be made
available at all places and free education will have to be arranged for young children.
 Proper law and order – Due to poor law and order situation in our country, people take
advantage of it and carry out acts like child labour. We have to strengthen our law and
order and only then we will be able to deal with the terrible problems like child labour.
 Prevention of Corruption – Due to corruption, the criminals who do child labour are easily
released or they are not arrested, due to which young children have to pay wages, so we
should curb corruption.
 Need for good and generous people – There are many good people in our society but we
need more good people who can afford the education of at least one poor child because
unless we are the responsibility of our society Until then, nothing can happen because the
government alone cannot do everything, so we should go ahead and help in writing the
education of poor children.
