Child labour in India is rampant. Despite the tall claims of the Government with it's false statistics, child labour still exists.Thus depriving the child of it's precious childhood. Children carrying the heavy bags,working as laborers for a square meal is a familiar sight in India. Where as a gleeful child carrying a school bag is not a familiar sight.

This is really a very sad issue for any country child labor can only be eradicate by providing proper education facility, jobs at the ground level to the needy families in the society, we can not just rely on our government for that as they are busy enough to protect their seats and making money truly speaking black money, we need to unite together and bring some light in this needy peoples by providing them better education and job facility that can be done by sponsorships or donation from rich peoples who are having the money power and the youth who can do the work and the best mind to make the plans and the strategy then only we can save this poor children in near future and make this world more beautiful for us and for everyone

Its a shame that innocent children are made to work in appalling conditions when they should be playing and experiencing the joy of childhood. The government should impose upon stringent rules and laws and eradicate child labour completely. The people who hire children should face criminal charges and be made to pay dearly. Government should also help poor children by raising funds and creating a healthy environment for them to live in. As citizens we should not be committing such offences and also we should educate the people who practise it and also report to the local authorities whenever we happen to witness such despicable practices.
