The problem of child labor in India is so huge that it demands support and contribution from every part of society to completely eradicate this problem. In recent times, government has taken some concrete steps for improving the situations of child laborers. Providing free education, encouraging parents to send their kids to schools with awareness campaigns and allocation of funds towards child health and development etc are some of the steps taken by the state.
Among the UN organizations, UNICEF has remained instrumental in initiating several steps against child labor. UNICEF has been well supported by civil society organizations and NGOs (Non Governmental Organizations). Several renowned and committed NGOs are working to improve the situation in this field. These NGOs, both local and international, focus on different problems concerning child labor. Let’s have a look at some of the top NGOs dealing with menace of child labor.
We cannot undermine the huge role played by NGOs in handling child labor issues. Specific NGOs focus on certain areas of improvement. For instance, if Action Aid India concentrates on child education and on street and working children then CRY targets underprivileged children who don’t have basic resources to sustain themselves. NGOs are carrying child development activities all over India. Some children educational NGOs engage themselves in offering free education to poor kids. They teach children living in slums.
