Socio economic Programs

Child labor can’t be eliminated in Toto unless we have the will power to do so. Comprehensive socioeconomic programs and educational uplift of the poor downtrodden and the deprived can work wonders. Side by side a radical change in the mind-set of the society towards child labor is the need of the hour. Government policies alone can’t solve this problem. Even harsh laws can’t toll the death knell of child labor. People in general can do this but we should not expect the result of our endeavors at one go and we should be ready for a gradual elimination of the problem. We have the requisite medicines to cure the chronic disease of child labor but it may take a longer period to give a final kick to the disease. Let us hope for the best. Tiny hands will not go wrinkled any more.
