Subject : Problem of Child Labour Sir, Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I wish to raise my voice against the worst social evil—child labour. Childhood is the best period in one's life. But it is unfortunate on the part of children that despite the ban on child labour, imposed by the government, the practice is still prevalent in our society. Data shows that there are 12 million child workers in our country. The root cause of the problem is lack of awareness and poverty. Poor parents send their children to earn, rather than sending them to school. They seek financial support from them. But this practice has adverse impact on children's well being—physically, mentally and emotionally. I wish, through media, the general public should be made aware of the children's plight. Poor parents should otherwise be compensated. Rules against child labour should be followed strictly. Thanking you Yours sincerely Aryan

Subject: Problem of Child Labour
Sir
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I wish to raise my voice against the worst social evil–child labour. Childhood is the best period of one’s life. But it is unfortunate on the part of children that, despite the ban on child labour, imposed by government, the practice is still prevalent in our society. Data shows that there are 12 million child workers in our country.
The root cause of the problem is lack of awareness and poverty. Poor parents send their children to earn, rather than sending them to school. They seek financial support from them. But this practice has adverse impact on their well being–physically, mentally and emotionally.
I hope, through media, the general public should be made aware of the children’s plight. Poor parents should otherwise be compensated. Rules against child labour should be followed strictly.
Thanking you
Yours sincerely
Aryan
