Poverty and child labour

Poverty has struck down lives of many people but the worst part is that the future if India is also going in dump. Always there are huge talks and discussions about child labor but the roots are buried under weight of poverty. Today we are so much focused in developing the education system, well worse in technology, trying to compete with other countries, developing warships, weapons and extending economy. But in race of all this the basic needs are somewhere left behind. Small children instead of going to school are forced to work for their livelihood. Still there are thousands who sleep in pavements and leading a dreadfully life. These poor children are found to work in every dangerous place like factories, mines and what not. Though having many laws, rules and regulations some malpractice is still prevalent. Even the parents of such children don’t object because of bad conditions. Lack of education in family planning leads to a notion that more will be the number of members in home, more will be the number of working hands. That is why poor families end up with 7 to 8 members dying with hunger and lack of basic needs. Thus, vicious circle of problems, one lead by the other. Hence it’s time to think practically and logically to these existing problems. At first we need to focus upon the fundamental needs of people of this country. It’s time let us start from the bottom. Let's focus upon eradicating the evils like poverty and child labor and understanding a great need to puting an end to it.
