When Modi promised #Achche Din for industries in India, especially for the cottage industries sector, nobody presumed that he meant child labour. Yet sadly that is exactly what he has done...It's all very easy to say that the new norm will only apply to specific areas of work that don't constitute hard labour. But who in the government is going to keep tabs at the grassroots level to see that this norm is not misused?...With this new norm, it becomes even easier for nefarious employers to hire child labour. All they have to do is ensure minimum attendance for the children at school and they can easily put the children to work in their factories...The amendment talks about children being allowed to work in ‘select family entreprises'. Doesn't the Labour ministry know that it's an euphemism for all manner of cottage industries like beedi rolling, carpet-weaving, gem-polishing, lock-making and matchbox-making - industries which are notorious for hiring child labour at dirt cheap prices?
