of dignity and opportunity to dare, dream and
do because the children are the future
generation of any country . Public awareness
through print, audio and visual media,
enforcement of law against child labour,
compulsory education for children upto 14yrs of
age, will go a long way in eliminating child
labour and making our future generation
strong. All we need is to get over our
indifferent attitude towards their plight. With a
great sense of responsibility towards them, we
should support and help them.
