In India there are thousands of things which have been there for
a very long time, and which have been averred unlawful by our government but are
still going on in front of everyone, flouting every abolition by the
Constitution of India.
Its an entrenched thing that whenever there has been an evolution, there has been a very great and humongous participation of people in the respecting process. When the people came to uproot or disapprove of something that things will inevitably be abolished completely and when people come to prop someone of something, that thing will be upheld and will undeniably sustain despite of any disapproval or protests.
Many evils and bad society monsters have been there in India for a very long time, since its medieval history(Rulers etc.). Although our Constitution has given them the status of being illegitimate and illegal, but they have been in continuance sans any nuisance in the underdeveloped and less civilized villages of India and even in some metros. And the bitter truth is that we have not been able to curb or halt them. Some bad evils like Dowry, Caste system, Religion, Honour Killing, Child Labour etc. have been mowing our society and biting it continuously.
One of the most severe evils is “CHILD LABOUR”.
Child Labour is the thing that has been acting as a weed in the field of progress of the country and has been sucking away all the nutrients of the beautiful flower of the development of the country. The child labour has been strictly prohibited by the Indian Constitution.
Let’s initially unravel what this mean thing is. Child Labour is a crime in which a child whose age is lower than 14 years is being employed in work, especially dangerous work. In India Child Labour is seriously banned but still there are many people who take full advantage of children forced to work because of the bad financial conditions of their house etc. and to earn money so that they can survive. Here Child Labour is not a rare thing. Wherever you go, you can see small children working on shops. You can find them selling fruits and vegetables, in a tea stall, imploring for money and at many other places. Government has proposed and started many reforms in this respect, but many of them have been futile and a fiasco, due to bad and unworthy implementation, and because of illiteracy. For example- RTE(Right To Education) of India promises free education to the age of 14 years and free mid-day meal to the students but because many people don’t know anything about the act, still thousands of children are working to earn money.
ILO(International Labour Organisation) has been working for the last four decades to terminate this social monster but the result has not come with flying colours.
In India the constitution has Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act 1986 to stop the social menace which states that a child below 14 years of age can’t be employed:-
1. To do a work which exposes children to physical, psychological or sexual abuse.
2. To work underground, under water, dangerous height or in confined places.
3. To work with dangerous machinery, equipment, tools etc..
4. To work in an unhealthy environment.
As we all can see that the government has made many serious laws viz. RTE, Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act 1986 etc. but the main thing is their implementation and conduction. We have to tell the unlettered people about all these laws and organisations, and ensure that they portray an active participation in all these things and emerge out to save and pamper the future of tomorrow and the future of India and the whole world.
