Workshop on child labour held
By Our Staff Reporter
IMPHAL, Jun 30: A workshop on child labour under the theme ‘Community Development for Peace’ was held at the conference hall of CVTC yesterday.
The workshop on child labour was addressed by Regional Director Ministry of Labour MN Salam and Education Officer of Central Board for Worker Education S Bijendra as resource persons.
They asserted that a welfare state can never be realised until the existing con- dition of making under aged children work, denying them education and harassing underprivileged children are addressed.
As denying education to these underprivileged children will result in serious social implications in future, it is the responsibility of all the citizens to abolish child labour, the resource persons observed.
Quoting the 2001 census report, they said that there are about 1.26 crores child labourers in the country. Even as official record shows a small figure of child labourers in Manipur, the State has a considerable number of child labourers,.
Stating that the Union Government has sanctioned Rs 602 crores for the five year plan for abolition of child labour, they appealed to the people to inform the State Deputy Labour Commissioner if any child is found being harassed or force to work.
