ABSTRACT
Children are the country's future citizens, and the country places the utmost importance on ensuring their healthy development. Children all over the world are involved in a variety of activities that are categorised as labour. They can range from great, even good deeds, to domestic help, physically risky pursuits, and morally repugnant individuals. Child labour is a complicated and divisive topic. Millions of children work in appalling, exploitative, and obviously hazardous situations. One of the top nations where a significant portion of the labour force engages in "child labour" is India. Child labour has received a lot of attention recently from the government, social scientists, nonprofit organisations, etc. The rights of children are also guaranteed under the Indian Constitution. Despite widespread social awareness and several restrictions, child labour is on the rise. However, there are numerous socioeconomic variables that contribute to child labour, including low family income, big families, poverty, illiteracy, etc. Hence, the issue of child labour needs to be investigated not only by the Legislature, the Administration, and the Courts, but also by social reformers, research, and educational institutions of the NGO who are responsible for the development and development of the country. Since child labor's roots go so deep, it cannot be eliminated suddenly. To stop child labour, laws need to be properly enforced.
