In past few years Child Labour has become one of the
biggest social evils in India. Childhood is one of the happiest period of one’s
life, it is the most unforgettable and memorable phase of one’s life which
every child has right to live happily. Children have their full right to play,
go to school, feel the love and care of their parents.
In many developing countries like India, child
labour has become very existence of widespread due to high level of poverty and
lack of proper education. Child labour is the crime against humanity which has
become a threat for the society. It involves regular or improper working of
children in their childhood. Many children against their will are forced to work
hard for long hours and are paid very less for their hard work. It’s the time
when they should study and play but unluckily or unfortunately they are forced
to work against their will.
According to official reports there are around 12
million child workers in India.
Presence of harmful chemical and loud noise makes
the condition of these children venerable to many health problems. This kind of
situation should not be allowed to continue as child labour is against national
and international laws. Those people who are engaged in it should be severely
punished.
Children are known to be an important asset for
their country but some selfish people are destroying the future of the country
for their selfish need by engaging children in harsh labour.
Protecting children from child labour is the need of
the hour and it’s the responsibility of each & every one of us to protect
the future of these children.
Child labour is destroying the health of the
children physically, mentally, socially and intellectually. Rich people should
contribute or help poor people so that their children too can get necessary
things in their childhood. In order to curb this social menace government
should implement laws & regulation very strictly. There is a need of more
effective and strict laws against child labour to be made in order to stop
children from working in hazardous conditions. Social awareness should be
created to educate the masses about the impact
of child labour on society and also on the lives of children. Owners of
industries and business organizations should take a pledge not to involve
children in any type of labour.
