  • Child labourers are exploited, exposed to hazardous work conditions and paid a pittance for their long hours of work. They belong to the unorganized labour force.

Subject:  Unrelenting Problem of child a b use

Dear Sir:
 

Through the column of your prestigious newspaper I am willing to  express my deep anguish over the unrelenting problem of child abu se in our country. I feel a little attention of yours towards the problem will be enough to initiate new campaign in eradicating the problem.

 

The problem of child a buse is quite widespread across India. In spite of the many ani-child a buse laws, the problem continues to spoil the lives of thousands of children. The adverse effects of this problem affect the growth, development, and progress of our nation. Many children are picked up by few people of the country from roads and are forced to work under them.They are abused,discriminated and treated very badly. Not only millions of  underage children are forced to work in factories, shops, glass-blowing industry, workshops, etc, they are paid the minimum of wages. According to Census data, there are over 82 lakh child labourers (aged between 5 – 14 years) in India. Our country needs more and more skilled manpower to achieve the objectives of growth, development and advancement. With so many millions of children working menial jobs, without education, how can India achieve her goals?

Through the medium of your esteemed daily I appeal to the Government to take some proactive and stringent measures to stop this problem of child abuse and must ensure education for them. Undoubtedly there are many laws against child abuse, however their poor implementation is responsible for the continuation of the problem.
Thanking you.

Yours faithfully
kavya
