Child labor exploitation can be considered as
the major challenging problem to the progress
of developing countries. Child labor, at the
cost of their right to education, not only
snatches their child hood but also permanently
leaves them in a dark world of poverty. Without
proper education they have to remain
unemployed forever. Thus they become the
burden of their country.
Child labour is the burning problem of today’s
India as it tops the list with the highest number of
child labour in the world. The 2001 national census
of India estimated the total number of child labour,
aged 5–14, to be at 12.6 million. Out of the 12.6
million, 0.12 million are engaged in hazardous job
but the problem of child labour is more severe than
reflected as child labour is estimated to be 60
million in India. Although the Constitution of India
guarantees free and compulsory education to
children between the age of 6 to 14 but it is not
completely applied till today.
