child Labour is a word we commonly hear, but it is difficult to actually feel what it means. It is one of the major problems our country is facing. Children are made to work at a tender age when they should be attending school. It is estimated that there are 116 million child workers in India. They have no access to any kind of education. As they lack education, they do not know their rights. They believe they have to keep on working as labour for the rest of their lives, even though what they earn is not enough to feed them with.
We all owe a debt to our country – it is the duty of every citizen to work for the upliftment of India. We have to work hard, but not as child labourers. We must get educated and become inspiring models for others to follow.
