World Day against child labour: ‘Multi-pronged strategy a must to curb child labour’


Commenting on the statistics,Lenin Raghuvanshi, head of People's Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR) and an activist who has been working to curb child labour, said eliminating child labour needed a multi-pronged strategy and the first was to ensure the parents of such children got minimum wages as per the law so that they were able to survive. “If parents earn enough they would think of sending kids to school and not work,” he said, adding: “Also if the primary education and places such as anganwadi centres are functioning well, kids will have a place to stay while parents go to work.”
