Child labor emerging as a hurdle in India's road to prosperity

According to Indian thought, young children are compared to God.  But the real picture is a little different in society.  Minors begging on the side of the road, children washing dishes in hotels, or working in brick kilns;  Seeing this, the tragic sight of child labor comes to the fore.

The country is in a developing mood.  Whether it's a natural disaster or a footprint on the moon's surface, it is coming to the good books in various areas.  However, the future of the next generation can be seen in the streets today.  Government schools are also in a state of disrepair.  Lunch, free dress, free textbooks, and an all-encompassing education campaign were among the most effective.  Because education is a fundamental right of all children.  But now the whole world is facing the pandemic.  Not only education but also health, employment, the poverty line and many more are being affected.  Many workshops, factories, offices, schools, colleges, etc. are being locked down and shut down in various places to prevent the expansion of the corona.  Will people who are struggling with malnutrition think about rescuing child labor?

Various government and non-governmental organizations have stepped up their efforts to ban child labor.  However, according to UNICEF, there are about 10.1 lakh people in India as of the 2011 census.  Of these, 5.8 lakh are boys and 7.5 lakh are girls.  It involves not only wages but also organ transplants with young children.  The question now is whether their rescue efforts will be possible during the pandemic, or what their future will be.
