Child labour is the basic problem of India. It is more a rural phenomenon than urban. Due to acute poverty, poor families residing in villages, send their children to cities. Children are sent to school for their future development, but the poor just want to fulfill their immediate needs by working at construction sites, in hotels or as servants.
Our constitution has given all a right against exploitation. Along with this the children have a right to basic education. Children from the ages of 6 – 14 years can get free education in schools. Parents should be educated about these laws so that more and more children get educated. Parents should be made to see that with education their child will soar higher and higher and will be capable of touching the sky.
