A recent research conducted by experts at Indian Centre for Development Economics states that India has to buckle up its fight against child labour, if it has to meet its target by the year 2015.
Currently the declining ratio is at 0.5 million a year, but this percentage is far behind the target. Only if 0.7 million annually is the count, the eradication of child labor completely within India is possible by 2015. This means a lot need to be done, and in this campaign, most important strategy is to boost up the involvement of the schools.
If the targeted plan is followed religiously, India, a country known worldwide for housing the highest number of child labourers, will be free of the aged old taboo.

The bill passed in Parliament for child labour is just meaningless. The government must come up with the alternative. Firstly, it is very essential to define Child labour. For me a child helping his father in farms is not a child labour, but it may be for the other person. The parents who are poor can not send their child to schools and neither they can involve their child in some vocational work. In such case the child in future will add to the idle population of our country. Instead of making such useless Acts government must concentrate either of giving education or vocational training to all the children, so that in future they can earn their livelihood.
Himadree I like the issue raised by you and would appreciate if you write something on the child labour law ammended by the government recently.
