Answer:
Child Labour
The Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986, amended in 2016, prohibits employment of a child under 14 years of age in any employment including as a domestic help. It is a cognizable criminal offence to employ a Child for any work.
Child labour act is called as National Child Labour Project because Children are being exploited in the form of child labour throughout the country. According to estimates there are as many as 18 million child labourers in the country. Child labour is a national problem. Children are being exploited both in the industrial and agricultural sectors. They can be found working in hazardous conditions and exposed to harmful chemicals, toxic pesticides or fertilizers and dangerous machinery tools. They are compelled to carry heavy loads in construction sites.
Hazardous working environment put children at risk of injury and death. They may contract diseases. Due to malnutrition and exhaustion they suffer from different physical health problems.
