stop child work

Chacha Nehru had said that kids are like Flowers but these flowers are being crushed under the curse called Child Labor In many parts of India children who are under 14 are made to work forcefully or due to financial problems in various industries. Lets understand what is child labor is ? Child labor is making children who are less then 14 years of age to work Though there have been many rules and laws to prevent child labor still this demon is increasing its grip over kids in our Country. In various parts of states like Bihar or UP the children are sold to Businessman for small sum who in turn take these children to Metros like Mumbai and Delhi and make them work at the factories, Hotels or shops Now question arises why these Parents sell these children main reason being poverty to continue their own livelihood parents sell there Kids Sounds strange but that’s the reality in Modern India. So Children who should go to School to study and play are working for more than 18 Hrs in small factories. This causes various deformities in these children due to long Hours of work in damp rooms and with few morsels of food. Industries where child labor is very prominent is Bidi, Fireworks, Diamonds, Hotels. This is very useful to Businessman as they can make these Children work for long hours without spending much Money. Though Indian industries will grow by this in terms of profit but will our nation get profited by spoiling present of these Child's. Answer is a definite NO NO!! Another perspective is girl childs amongst these children are exploited by these Owners and sometimes these girls are put into flesh trade where they trapped for lifetime. We say that India is developing nation which wants to become Superpower tomorrow but are we going to achieve this with children working in these factories. If we do not take step forward to stop child labor today than we will loose future Industrialists, Army officers, Pilots , Scientists, Doctors and India will take many many years to become Superpower. Always our politicians want to depict in front of Foreigners our Military Power, Industrial Development ,Rich Culture traditions as all these are our strong points but no one wants to show problems like Child labor. Development in all these fields is good we are very much proud of that but we of course shouldn’t be closing our eyes when it comes to clean mess in our Society. What can be done to control stop child labor : 1) It has been observed that 80 % Child labor cases are cause of parental poverty So government should build factories or should give lease on Agriculture in these areas So that it can generate jobs and parents do not have to sell the children. 2) There is law against child labor but its not harsh and there are many loopholes. So whenever anyone is caught promoting this act he should be booked for Life Imprisonment His industrial license should be canceled. If we do this for few years no one would dare to make child work in their Industry. 3) We as people should consider our responsibility whenever a maid sends her girl who is under 14 to work at your Home ask her to go back if you don’t you promote child labor . Also when you see a small boys working as waiter in Hotel tell owner that you can complaint and ask him to stop taking work from this Kid. 4) People hesitate to report these cases as they have problems of Police So Government can start a helpline where public can call and report incidents and later Cops would take action on these incidents. If we implement all this and eradicate this curse from our Society then India would soon emerge as Superpower in world Horizon with its future in safe hands.
