For how many decades India
will be discussing the child labour problem ? many experts on child welfare point out that, the amendment to the Child labour Act permitting children to work in family enterprises after school hours will have adverse effect on their mental and physical well being and the children from marginaised sections are in danger of being deprived of both the joys of childhood and their
constitutional right to education . When this amendment gives legal sanction
to work in family enterprises after school hours , when are these children supposed
to play, do home work, pursue their
hobbies like reading or writing or painting or dramatics or music ? Are they
built-up of iron and hence capable (after spending their mental energy in
school for five to o six hours )of rendering physical energy in jobs in home
run enterprises? What type of mental, physical, emotional and psychological development
and personality development such children will have? Children are voiceless and
their rights can not be taken away
cruelly through merciless amendment to Child Labour Act .
