'' For Asl"

Answer 1

Good morning to the Excellencies, Principal sir, sir, madam, my seniors and dear friends. My name is … I study in class … I would like to speech on child labour at this occasion because it is one of the big issues interfering with the growth and development of our country. I would like to say a big thank to my class teacher to give me such as a great opportunity to speech here on this topic.

My dear friends, child labour is a global issue, it is not the issue of our country only so, it needs a global effort to get removed from the society. It has affected worldwide especially developing countries to a great extent. Children are involved in various types of labour at low payment; bonded child labour is one of them. It is a very old system in India in which children are forced, or partly forced by the owner to perform their job for long time. In this system, especially child or his/her parents have to agree for an agreement (oral or written) with the creditor. It was emerged in India during colonial period to get reliable and cheap labour at loan or land-lease relationship basis. Legislation was passed in 1977 in order to prohibit bonded child labour in India. However, some evidences have found proving the continuation of bonded child labour in the country.

Child labour is a serious issue in the society in terms of economic welfare because children involved in labour at their little age cannot get necessary education. They drop the opportunity of being a well developed (physically, mentally, intellectually, socially, psychologically and financially) citizen of the nation. Their physical and mental condition reduces day by day which makes them more vulnerable to various diseases. They remain illiterate lifelong which limit their ability to contribute in the well-being of their own and country.

There is need to make industrialists and businessmen well aware about all the adverse effects of child labour on the country’s development. Everyone must understand that education is the only tool to improve necessary skills among children which will help in increasing their own and nation’s productivity through secured higher-skilled jobs in future. It needs some effective and positive steps to be taken by the end of all Indian citizens especially well educated youths of the country to remove this social issue.

Thank You

Jai Hind

Friends, there is a simple yet important topic that we need to know about, that is, “child labour”. 

      World over the children's rights are the most abused, knowingly or unknowly.  When a minor child under 14 years of age works, we call that child labour.  It is an undesired social practice, but used to be a commonly seen everywhere.  It is unfortunate that it is still present.  India has a lot poor people and many orphans.  Children of many poor people have to work for earning auxiliary income for their families.  Around 10 lakh children in India were seen in labour in the last Census.

     Child labour problem is due to their helplessness, bonded labour or due to domination of some bad persons.  Government has introduced many strict laws against child labour.  The Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986 enforces it.  It tells where and how children under 14 yrs can work.  Many children are rescued from labour work and joined in children's rescue homes.  They are being helped by the government for schooling, shelter, food etc.  

     There were many news reports on such rescue operations in the last decade.   Media, police  and social organization have worked very well to restrict the evil.  In fact, nowadays we observe that there not much of child labour.  Poor people are working hard to join their children in schools and not sending them to work.  In some years the problem of child labour will be eradicated totally.   The law is helping the children to get their fundamental rights of education and freedom.  Bachpan Bacho Andolan was launched nationwide and Amitabh Bachan campaigned for it.

     I will be happy to see children enjoy their right of learning and playing.  I hope you too are happy in saying no to child labour.   I thank you all for listening to me attentively.
