Question

childten like saheb often go for private jobs in very small age .Is this their final destiny ? how can such sutuation be overcome ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

               Children like Mukesh and Saheb represent all the children who are forced to do child labor in India. Millions of children below the age of 14 are working in factories, shops, glass-blowing industry, workshops in the most miserable and unhygienic work conditions. According to Census data, there are over 82 lakh child labourers (aged between 5 – 14 years) in India. Our country requires more number of skilled manpower to achieve the objectives of growth, development and advancement. With such a huge number of children employed in menial jobs, without education, how can India achieve her goals? How will India have skilled manpower unless these children are educated and trained in their respective skills?

The Indian Government must take some proactive measures to stop this problem of child labour and must ensure education for them. Undoubtedly there are many laws against child labour, however their poor implementation is responsible for the continuation of the problem. The government must work harder and involve the people and Non-Profit Organizations to curb the problem in the country. There is only one measure that can check this social evil; and that measure is strictness. Unless the Government deals with the offenders with the iron hand, this problem is going to spoil the lives of millions.
