0n the other hand there stands a shocking two word irony i.e. CHILD LABOUR.

Giggles , laughter & innocence - these are the words which best describe CHILDHOOD - the period one relishes for life . . . . .

BUT

FUTURE AT STAKE BUT NO ONE CARES !!!!!!!A child is similar to a sapling , which if nurtured with care ,will blossom to its full strength but if not then the sapling will be doomed.

CHILD LABOUR is one of the most burning issues these days. It is a pity that our future generations are falling a prey to this. Being compelled , our learners become the bread & butter earners of the family . This problem is looming large and is making our forth coming generations hollow like a termite.

WHAT IS CHILD LABOUR?

CHILD LABOUR is defined as work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development.

It is the work that exceeds a minimum number of hours depending on the age of a child and on the type of work.
