Children are the greatest gift to humanity and childhood is an important stage of intellectual, physical, social and emotional development but the child labour restricts their right to access and benefit from education and denies attending school. Child labour prejudices children's education and adversely affects their health and safety. As per Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, employment of children below 14 years is prohibited in notified hazardous occupations and processes (at present 18 hazardous and 65). Child labour is a complex and contentious issue. Millions of children work in outrageous and exploitative conditions that are clearly dangerous to them. India is one of the top countries where the percentage of labour force constitutes 'child labour' is very high. In recent years, A lot of attention has been paid to child labour from the Government, social scientists, voluntary organizations, etc. The Constitution of India also guarantees protection of the rights of children. Despite social consciousness and many prohibitions, the number of child labour is increasing. There are also many social factors of child labour such as inadequate family income, large families, poverty, illiteracy etc. Therefore, the issue of child labour needs to be looked into not only by the Legislature, the Executive and the Courts, but also to the social reformers, research and educational institutions of the NGO who look after the development and development of the nation. Child labour cannot end overnight because its roots are very deep. Laws should be strictly implemented to prevent child labour.
