Children from 8 to 12 years of age has to do manual labour. Many of them work as domestic servants and maid-servants. Sometimes they are engaged to work in the fields, in shops, hotels, restaruants, small factories etc. They polish boots, sell chanchur, badam and vegetables. They work as porters. They catch fishes and sell them in the market. Though labour is sacred. Child labour is a crime. The people who engage them take full advantage of their minor age and their helplessness. Children engaged as house servants or maid-servants have to work from early morning to late hours at night. They have to work, so to say, fifteen to eighteen hours a day. They are not allowed any recess and recreation.

They are always dealt with abuse and reproof. Very often they are punished mercilessly. They are often compelled to take rotten and inferior food. In fact, they are not treated as human beings. They have similar ill-treatment in the hotels, shops and factories. They work for a longer period with less wages. Their masters very often treat them mercilessly. Minor boys working as rickshaw pullers and factory workers often face accidents, lose their limbs and pass their days as disabled persons. Then they have to live as beggars. But as a nation we cannot remain simply silent observers. We should realize that the future of our country depends upon the children of to day. 

A country of children having poor and ill-health will expedite the degeneration of the nation. So all sections of people of our country as well as the government should give serious though to this problem. Child labour should be stopped by law. Education should be made compulsory for the children. Poor parents should be paid allowances to supplement the income and be asked to sent their children to schools. Children coming from poor families should be given free books and kits.
