‘Implement strict laws’

Don’t employ: Avinash Mukherjee

Child labour is prevalent in India mainly because of two things – low income and low literacy rate. We can end this practice by not encouraging it. It will take a long time but we can do our bit by not employing any child at any restaurant, petrol pump, or at any other place.

Bring awareness: Jhanvi Sethi

It makes me sad each time I speak on this topic of child labour. It takes away the right to education and prevents the little ones from experiencing a balanced childhood. We need to bring awareness at the rural level where parents push their children to work.

Change mind set: Arjun Bijlani

Do you know why people still think sons are the best? Because they can go out and earn. In poor families, they send their boys as labourers at a very young age. Once we are able to change that mind set, I think we will be able to ban child labour completely.

Sad reminder: Amal Sehrawat

We live in a country which is—of the people, for the people and by the people. Child Labour Day is an occasion to remind us that we should stop it. We should not kill the childhood of the children by putting them to work.

Take action: Kettan Singh

I am strongly against child labour. Children should not be allowed to work at dhabas or at homes. Society and the government should take strict action against the people who employ children.
