Children who are the backbone of our future generations
should be given proper food, clothing and shelter and even schooling up to a
certain standard. These are the absolutely necessary for their proper physical
and mental growth. But it is very pathetic as well as unfortunate that the
children of our society are forced to work. The children below age of 18 who
work as labours called child labour. They work in mills, factories,
agricultural fields, tea stall, hotels etc. They are to work hard for unlimited
time at a low pay. The poor and helpless parents allow their children to work
at child labours. They became victims of exploitation and social justice. Child
labour is the symbol of a pitiable society and under developed country. The
wretched boys work in overcrowded, dark, badly ventilated room and buildings.
The places are so unhealthy that the little boys suffer from various diseases .they
packed boxes, bottles, biscuits, fast food, and textile and also they do risky fireworks
many unfortunate children work as domestic servants. Many children do the work
of show shine, hacking and serve as boys in hotels and restaurant. Many
children go to other state for jewelry works, carpentry and such and such.
They are also work as hawkers and vendors.
To check and
stop all these forms of forced labour and child labour, several laws have been
enacted by the Government. The Children Act 1933 bans engagement of children in
work return for wages. The Employment of Children Act of 1938 prohibits
child-labour in carpet weaving, bidi-making, etc. The Factories Act and Shops
and Establishment Act of 1948 also ban child labour in shops and factories.
Prohibition of all forms of forced labour and child labour is the Right against
Exploitation which is one of the fundamental rights enshrined in the Indian
Constitution.
