Poverty compels children to work as labourers. In India the children of backward societies are not facilitated and so they prefer to work to fill their empty bellies. Child labour has also increased illiteracy in the country. It is the cause of death of many a child, it is the cause of permanent physical damage of lungs & spines. Parents need to be educated and made to realize that sending a child to school is not a waste of time or money. Basic education is the right of every citizen of India. So avoiding child labour is a stepping stone to making our country a better developed one.
