Waiving Child labour, reality or just in paper.

Hey readers, I know you have came across thousand of article about child labour. But one fact can never be denied that, in pen n paper it has become possible.

I am not saying waiving child labour system is impossible, but are the rule makers and civic society ready to implement it on ground level. Some would say, yes the system has been stopped in a great way. In reality, everyone knows that's not true.

But where is the problem. We have systems and NGOs who are hitting trumpet the have changed it.

Whenever you go to such a child, he or his parents would have a simple answer. OK we ll not send him to work, but who will feed his/her empty stomach. Oops, I forgot we have mid day meal scheme. So is it enough to give them breakfast and meals. What about the dinner. OK let's think, their parents should give it. KUDOS we have solved a big problem. We waived 100% child labour. Really !!!

OK now they are going to school, learning some stuffs. But what would they do once they come out of school. If u visit a rural area, and ask a kid to write his own name, they write it by difficulty. But where is the problem. We have given them food, education, and now they can't write their own name. Now comes most tricky part. What would they do when they exit school. No doubt, some 10 out of 100 kids do well in education and go for higher studies. Thanks to their parents teachers who have made them eligible for so.

Now let's talk about rest 90. What are they gonna do after school. Go to some workshop or somewhere they find a way to make their living. But what do they know. Those workshop/hotels have some well trained folks who are working and of course earning well than what a normal graduate could earn. So who is gonna keep them for work.

What I missed in above context is, family planning. Only a few people have the idea. Others just bang and produce whatever they can. Now after producing children, they realize that, they need to feed them. But u know, those people have less earning with which they could barely feel their empty stomach. So they have simple solution for these problems. Send them to work in a hotel to wash, or workshop to do minor helping works(later they turn out to be good mechanics of course). And some send kids to beg. Oh shit. What did I tell. Its reality.

I still can't figure out a perfect solution for waiving this system. But simple things might solve them. Educate those kids with real life things along with regular course, so that they can later make their living by what they r taught.

Educate those poor people about family planning, so that they produce 1-2 children whom they can take good care.

I don't know whether I focused my points all over. Let's hope for a better future for those kids.
