BANNING CHILD LABOUR
Children are the future of the nation but due to poverty 70-80 million children are forced to work in many health hazardous industries. They are forced into leading an adult life. The constitution of our country prohibits children under 14 yrs from working for a living.
Yet, undernourished, semi-clad children are working in roadside dhabas, they even work in factories, brick kilns. These are sad scenes. These children should be in schools enjoying their childhood.
Everyone says small children should be in school, but it is easier said than done. The poverty stricken parents want their children to make some money and contribute towards running the household.
So the real problems are poverty and lack of education.
Yet we should call upon the government to ban child labour in any form. It does not end there, government schools should be opened to provide free education to them.
