An amendment to the Child Labour Prohibition Act proposed by the Modi government is about to undo the hard-won progress in the area of child labour and condemn millions of children to exploitative employment...Enakshi Ganguly Thukral of HAQ Centre for Child Rights believes this is an attempt by the Modi government to ensure a sizeable chunk of the population remains in the informal sector, deprived of minimum wages and social security. “The government is not in a position to provide jobs for millions of young people,” said Thukral. “Such a retrograde step will help ensure millions of kids remain illiterate and therefore unemployable.”
