Subject: Unrelenting Problem of Child Labour in India
Dear Sir:
I am writing to your good-self to express my deep anguish over the unrelenting problem of child labour in our country. I feel a little attention of yours towards the problem will be enough to initiate new campaign in eradicating the problem.
I recently visited my native village to spend a few days there during the vacation. I was shocked to see children in the age group of 5 to 14 working in fields and loitering aimlessly in the streets.
The problem of child labour is quite widespread across India. In spite of the many ani-child labour laws, the problem continues to spoil the lives of thousands of children. The adverse effects of this problem affect the growth, development, and progress of our nation.
Not only millions of underage children are forced to work in factories, shops, glass-blowing industry, workshops, etc, they are paid the minimum of wages. According to Census data, there are over 82 lakh child labourers (aged between 5 – 14 years) in India. Our country needs more and more skilled manpower to achieve the objectives of growth, development and advancement. With so many millions of children working menial jobs, without education, how can India achieve her goals?
Through the medium of your esteemed daily I appeal to the Government to take some proactive and stringent 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.
Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Sam Dev
