we must respect govt initiative to eradicate child labor and this is feasible only when the strategies will be implemented. government has to educate people and motivate them to come out and help eradicate this disease to bright future of country because at some root levels where it not possible for govt even to take measure people only can take initiatives.

Govt. is responsible for initiating an action but without support of its own people no policy can succeed. Introducing monitors and then involving other monitoring agency to cross check will only increase costs. If we pledge ourselves that we will not trade, transact, support or involve ourselves in any of the product or service where child labour is used most of the problem will get solved. Why do we wait for a forced decision from the Govt. only. It can be solved by our single initiative.

We are democratic society. Govt. frames policies keeping in mind about the mass from all verticals of the society. Whenever a policy or law is introduced it is subject to whole whereas debates come with specific examples. Even if any policy structure covers 70% - 80% of the topic it will be useful. Irony is that educated people break law more than uneducated poeple. We need to correct ourselves and the system will automatically get corrected.

Govt. has taken a good initiative but it will become feasible only if people support it to full. All changes start slowly but spread rapidly. Gautam Buddha once said that you tell a line to two people and ask them to spread it to two more people. So the day half world knows that line, the next day the whole world will. Taking initiative is difficult but it needs support from us i.e. citizens. The change may be slow now but sooner it will spread over.

yes, its a very good initiative.... May be in starting period it seems difficult, but as we all know this effort is not a one day fight and after that result will come....rather this is a step process and result will come step by step. In last but not least every initiative matters.

I think this is not the only thing that should be done in this regards.Govt. should also look to educate the under-privileged & with due respect to Munawwar yes it is a difficult task but proper approach and proper purpose will surely do it.

I feel the policy is still in papers only. Though the govt is trying hard to abolish it , its not working out. We still can see many children in farms and other unorganized sectors. The recent notification by WB Govt which ensured minimum wage for child labors is a solid proof for Govt's failure in tackling this issue

There is not adequate awareness in the society. Only an organised society can do it. Govt. initiative taken so far will help eradicating its prevalence in the time to come

I do agree that there has to be a stringent law with respect to the issue. But are our policy makers ( politicians) ready for this? we find many child labour cases at the top bureaucrats/politicians. who will bell the cat? I feel every individual should actively take part in eradicating child labour. Every case has to be reported,followed up and seen that the child is in safe hands.

In my view, we can't frame policies thinking of the feasibility. If something that is good to be done, it has to be done. But, it is up to the people also to adher to the right policies. Government should try reaching out to people on the laws and policies and encourage them to follow if it is right else voice their concerns on it.

Friend In our country how many policies impact how much we all know, so far a good and favorable change for children the thing which is required is strict action on policy regulations. And at the same time govt should ensure that the child who is working at somewhere is working by default or is bound to work to feed himself & family. Bcoz any law & policy can't feed one. Thanks

Of course not: it not feasible to stop child labor as a whole and India in particular. As these children don’t work in any organize sector. They are normally spread all over. Further, it is not only the responsibility of Govt. to stop it, as there are two other parties: Employer and Parents. Both of them have no intension to stop it. It is economic factor which hold them on.

Of course not feasable, these child labours are not working in any organise sector where you can stop it. It is spread all over. Secondly, it is not the Govt.'s reponsibility only to stop, there are 2 more parties involved ; Employer and Parent. Both of them have no intension of stopping it. As there is economic factor to look at:

No... there is no effective monitoring system. Also if it can be implemented with the help of reliable NGOs , it may help us in eliminating this social evil.As Central govt. has made primary education compulsory, it gives more meaning to act on the child labour issue soon.
