Recently watched one news regarding child labor where children were working in factory have got freedom by the help of some NGOs.. I’m shocked (after watching this news) to know that Children are still using as a laborers and thinking why this problem existed in our society?
Childhood is for having fun. It is that stage of life where one enjoys life without any tension. But due to child labor problem, many children’s childhood have been ruined. Children are working (when they are supposed to study and play) in many factories, small restaurants and in houses. They are almost treated like slaves and because of this, their lives have become nightmares. Government’s made a law against this problem but it’s enough now!?
There are still many “chhotus” spoiling their precious childhood by compelled to work in dhabas and canteens. Can’t disclose the name but I’ve seen boys (below than 18 years) working in Govt. institutes’ canteens, now what’s left to say!?!?
These juveniles have lost hope; you can see dryness in their eyes. Many times they are treated badly (mentally & physically) by their ‘employers’ for not performing up to expectations.
There are many reasons to this problem but rather than analyzing reasons we better think about impeccable solutions.. Making law is not only sufficient but effective implementation of law is necessary. Beside it, strong awareness is MUST (against this problem) by every medium not mere Naarebaaji.Government should work with NGOs for these children’s rehabilitation, studies and other requirements after when they got freedom.. They must get better education, trainings & Some monetary help should also be given to them so that they can live respectable life after reaching the age of 18.

Its insolvable in indian society where primary and higher education is not compulsory.
Childern require proper food, shelter, motivation to go high in life but that all is not developed in slums or by poor parents. We 've to develope first all these things, than only this issue raising 'll be justified..
You consider cgild labour as a big curse to society , but i think even the 90% of the students who are having all facilities are themselves prone to smoking,drinking, abusing parents or society. Why those people that are almost 50% of the young generation are not able to perform as well as others of Developed countries . The reason is the indian lazy outlook of delaying things,low thinking.

Poor Children are being treated inhumanly even by so-called intelligentsia of the society..I too hv. witnessed the same things even in my neighourhood..as you pinpointed they are working even in govy. officer's homes.. wt to say abt others ?? true.. "hedge itself is eating the garden " this so pathetic..
I blame acute poverty,corruption ,illiteracy & moral degeneration of society as its causes...
Further the consequences are even more grave as ineqity,violence & growing marginalisation of such victiminsed lot...
Responsible persons in administration should take all necessary steps to remove it.
