• Child labour refers to the employment of
children in any work that deprives them of
their childhood.
• Interfaces with their ability to attend regular
school , and that is mentally
physically ,morally dangerous and harmful.
• In villages ,it is a common sight to see
children of poor families working in fields
or elsewhere to contribute to the family
income.
• Such children are depend of opportunities
of education and are also prove to health
risks.
• In a sense, child labour is open exploration
as it deprive children of education and
pushes them into exploitative situations.
• The side effects of working as a young
age are:-
Risks of contracting occupational
diseases like skin diseases
Diseases of lungs

• They are unable to avail development
opportunities and end up as untitled
workers for the rest of their lives.
2.Action plans for project

and put into practise.
• Government should ensure that every child
gets education and the opportunity to go to
school ,which will help children to learn skills
tat will help them earn a living.
• General public needs to be made aware of the
severe consequences of child labour.

the strength of the little fingers that make
bangles.

Hazards

 conclusion
• It was a wonderful learning experience
for me while working on this project.
This project took me through various
phases of child labour and gave me an
insight about this devasting situation of
millions of children across the world . To
eradicate poverty and the child
labour ,India needs to invest on a
massive scale in education , adult
employments, industrialisation unless
the root cause of poverty is not
addressed social , insecurity prevails
child labour cannot be checked, let us
come across for its eradication and great
value.
