A lot of children below 18 work in mills, factories, shops etc. A whopping 10.1 million children are working and earning instead of pursuing education. That’s 10.1 million dreams lost in thin air! Are we going in the right direction with respect to economy, development and overall progress? One cannot deny the fact that as a nation we have let down our children. When children work as labourers, they are just not deprived of education; they are deprived of learning new things about this world. In addition to all the pain, these children are exposed to unhygienic conditions and there are chances that they fall sick.

This leads to illness and often it affects the physical development of these children.

In order to make both ends meet, entire family is required to work and earn. This is also why they believe in bearing and rearing several children.
