CHILD is a word that is used for very young persons; an age to study, play, enjoy and have very
big dreams in small eyes. But does all children enjoy in this small age? Do you really think that
all the children study and play in this age?
Lets discuss in India the condition of such children. According to one survey, in year 1971, the
number of working children in developing country India was 10,753,985 while in 1991 it was
increased up to 11,285,349 and now-a-days it has increased to 60 million. 60 million, Is it a
small number?
I know you are feeling very surprised to know this huge number. Some of you might not be
believing on this stats. But its true. If you are Indian and residing here then you must have seen
such small children working near footpaths.
No doubt, Indian government is taking steps to stop Child-Labor. But only on papers, not in real.
Even today in every state, children are working at homes as domestic laborers, industrial

the answer Labour. No, no we have to come forward to stop it.
Only government is not responsible for such conditions of people. The persons or I can say we,
the citizens of India, who appoint them are also responsible for such pitiable condition of
children. In such a condition, it becomes our duty to come forward. Many organizations are set
for such cause.
