Sub: Social evil – child labour

Sir,

Child labour is a socio-economic phenomenon. It is generally concerned that illiteracy, ignorance, low wages, unemployment, poor standard of living stark poverty, deep social prejudices are all, severely and collectively the root cause of child labour. The child shall enjoy special protection and shall be given opportunities and facilities by law by other means, to enable him to develop physically, mentally, spiritually and socially in a healthy and normal manner and in conditions of freedom and dignity. It is the bounden duty of the country to provide at least free primary education for all children. One must remember that the industrialization wait but youth does not last long. The brightness and future welfare of the society are closely interwoven with the brightness of the child and its careful upbringing. I appeal to the government to make laws to eradicate this social evil from society

Yours Faithfully,
