Children
are the greatest gift to humanity and hold the future of our country in their
little hands. It’s horrifying that one out of every seven children around the
world today is a child labour. Child labour is the practice of having
children engage in economic activity on a part- or full-time basis. The
practice deprives children of their childhood and is harmful to their physical
and mental development. Poverty, Social and economic backwardness, Family
tradition and the growth of the informal economy are considered to be the key
causes of child labour in India.

Children are always considered next to the pious versions of the Almighty who always strive to inculcate happiness, joy, innocence and hope. India is sadly the home to the largest number of child labourers in the world. The 2011 national census of India found the total number of child labourers, aged 5–15, to be at 4.35 million. Child labour problem is not unique to India, worldwide about 217 million children work, many full-time.
The future of a nation is determined by the way it treats its children and its women, after all, children imply a hope, a hope to strengthen not only the economy of the country but also to provide the country with skilled human resources who have access to the basic amenities essential for the existence coupled with the tenets of the education in India. It is the moral duty of every citizen of the country to ensure that the childhood of our children is protected.
