4. Lost spring
The theme of the
chapter is the
grinding poverty
and the traditions
which condemn
poor children to a
life of exploitation.
The story depict
the plight of street
children forced
into labour early in
life and denied the
opportunity of
schooling.

6. SAHEB-E-ALAM is enthusiastic as well as optimistic to
go to school some day though his life is full of
miseries. Children like him face unending hardships,
poverty snatches away their schooling and leaves
them as ragpicker to waste their whole life looking for
something in the garbage in the neighbourhood.
Thousands of
people to object
poverty .The
story of
ragpickers is an
illustration of
their frustrating
poverty though
they continues
to fight till the
end.

7. An elmentary
school
classroom in a
slum
Spender describes the
miserable condition of
the children . The faces of
the children are unlike
the usual children of
schools. Instead of being
exuberant and energetic,
they are like rootless
weeds ,withered and
worn out. They are
unclean and untidy, as
they are malnourished
,sick and hungry . Just as
weeds are not wanted in
the garden , so are these
children of the slum
unwanted in the society.

8. In this poem, Stephen Spender deals with the theme of social injustice and class inequalities.
He presents the theme by talking of two different and incompatible worlds. The world of the
rich and the civilized has nothing to do with the world of narrow lanes and cramped holes.
The gap between these two worlds highlights social disparities and class inequalities

9. “AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLASSROOM IN
A SLUM” & “THE LOST SPRING”
The poem depicts the
plight of slum children
living in miserable poverty
in slums. Deprived of basic
necessities of life, thy are
forced to live in the squalid
surroundings.
These poor children will
continue to live a life of
sufferings and want until
the government officials,
teachers, or other people
come forward for their
cause.
Chapter lost spring also
highlights the problem of
child-labour in our
country. Thousands of
people belonging to poor
families are forced to do
the work of rag picking and
bangle-making industry.
The corrupt government
officials in league with the
middlemen, shahukars,
police, etc. don’t let them
come out of the vicious
circle of poverty for their
own benefits.

the number of child labourers at 3,344. Bengaluru City, the
report said, has the second-highest number of child labour
cases next only to Raichur district.

migrant workers living in slums not being counted as they will
be out at work when the staff visit their sheds,” said

 Karnataka has three main geographical zones - a coastal region, a hilly
region along the Western Ghats and a region covering the plains of the
Deccan plateau. Due to an impressive economic growth rate over the past
two decades Karnataka has invested in areas of social development,
including health and education.
 However, the northern region of the state which has a significant
population of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and minorities, continue
to lag on several human development indicators and report high incidences
of child labour, child marriage and child trafficking. The rapid urbanization
of Bengaluru, Mysuru and other smaller cities attracts a large influx of
adults and children from the northern region of the state and other states.
 Approximately 20.9 per cent of the population live below the poverty line.
The State is working towards a nutrition policy as part of its Vision 2025
goals in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and
World Health Assembly targets, and is widening the nutrition
supplementation net through near universal targeted schemes.

27.  CONCLUSION
 The problem of child labour continues to pose a challenge
before the nation. Government has been taking various pro-
active measures to tackle this problem. However, considering
the magnitude & extent of the problem & that it is essentially a
socio-economic problem inextricably linked to poverty &
illiteracy, it requires concerted efforts from all society to make
a dent in problem.
 The social evil of child labour can be brought under control, if
each individual takes responsibility of prevailing child labour.
Each & every citizen should be aware of their responsibilities
& should take corrective measures to stop child labour, so that
we can have a better & developed India. Child labour can be
controlled if the government functions effectively with the
support of the public.
