ABSTRACT:
Child labour is one of the most pressing social problems which the international community has been facing. Children are an important asset not only for their country but for the whole of mankind. They are not merely future adults. They are tiny apostles of peace and above all very much human beings though weak and immature. In almost all societies, children work in some way, though the types of work they do and the forms of their involvement vary. But many millions of children work under abusive and exploitative conditions that are clearly dangerous to them. There are still a large number of children who are employed in rag picking, collection of raw hides and skins, leather flaying and tanning, accompanying their parents for deep sea fishing, fish processing and storage, collection of minor forest produce, etc., that have not been brought within the ambit of the prohibited category.
