Discuss the steps taken by government tocheck child labour and promote child welfare.---> [cse 2003 ]

Child labour is one of the serious hurdles in the path of human development in India. Adverse effects of child labour have been accepted by the world and internationally , steps are being taken to  check it. Indian Government has also taken some positive steps in this direction . Ever since independence, the Government of India has taken several measures to eradicate the menace of child labour. There have been specific legislations aimed at curbing the problems, and punishing the offenders. Also , several social programs for the rehabilitation for children who are rescued from child labour , are run at central and state level. In recent years, there has been a major emphasis on providing basic education for all children , which is a long - term answer to this social menace. 
                    In 1988, the Government of India launched the National Child Labour Project [ NCLP ] . Initially the scheme was implented in nine districts with a high concentration of child labour. The scheme involves establishment of special schools for chhild labour who are withdrawn from work. 
         These special schools provide formal and informal education alongwith vocational taining, and also provide a monthly stipend. Other facilities such as supplementary nutrition and healthcare are also provided to such children. The number of districts covered under the NCLP  scheme was increased to 100 in the 9th Five Year Plan and further increased to 250 in the 10th Plan . On 15th August , 1994 , the Government of India launched a major programme to remove child labour working in hazardous occupations , and to rehabilitate them by setting up special schools for them. Under the programme , a total of two million children are sought to be brought out of work and put in special schools where they are provided with educaiton, vocational training , monthly stipends , nutrition and health-checks.

                        A highly powerful  body , th National Authority for the Elimination of Child Labour  [ NAECL ] was established on 26th september , 1994, headed by the Union Minister of Labour in the Government of India . There are credible efforts being made at the administrative level to eliminate the problem of child labour . Indian laaws specifically defines 64 industries as hazardous and its a criminal offence to employ children in such hazardous industries . In 1979 , the Indian Goverrnment formed the Gurupadswami Committee to find about child labour prohibition and regulation.

                       The Child Labour Prohibition and Regulation Act was enacted in 1986 . National Policy on Child Labour was formulated in 1987 to focus on rehabilitating children working inhazardous industries. In July 2016 , the parliament has passed the Child labour [Prohibiton and Regulation ] Amendment Act by widening its scope against child labour and provides for stricter punishment for violations. 
      
                            Also there are several voluntary organisations working for the rescue and rehabilitation of child labour in India . Education for all children is the key that can bring about a fundamental change and help to end the problem permanently . A collective public and governmental effort on various fronts will eventually lead to the complete readication of child labour menace from India.
