"Sunday Interview: Amendment to child labour bill is regressive", 31 July 2016

Kailash Satyarthi, Nobel laureate and child rights campaigner for over three decades, criticises the newly amended child labour bill that permits children to be confined to work instead of being in school. In an interview...he voices concern about the amendments and how it failed the children of India yet again...This new amendment is regressive. There are major flaws. The definition of family enterprise has blurred a very natural course of engaging children to help parents...I strongly oppose it (the bill) and we are examining it to see what can be done.
