Child labour : India's scary reality

Ragpickers collect usable material as smoke rises from a garbage dump at the Bhalswa landfill site in New Delhi, India. Child labour, child abuse and child trade in India remains a big problem. Economic stagnation and hunger work like a magical potion for child traffickers. This is the major reason why the highest number of children trafficked are from states like Bihar, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. It is a horrendous fact that the poor and backward classes of these states are literally struggling for each and every morsel of food. The direct impact of not getting work, getting less money for work or not getting their wages on time falls on their children and their future.

Due to a lack of wages in the remote areas of Biha , Jharkhand and in Naxal affected areas, a large number of workers continuously migrate to big metropolises like Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai and commercial and industrial cities like Agra, Jaipur, Punjab, lucknow, Kanpur, Moradabad, Faridabad, Bareilly and Surat. These include a large number of child labourers who are employed as bonded labourers in factories that manufacture bangles, utensils, clothes, leathers and chemicals.
