Mangaluru: World Day Against Child Labour programme was organised by the district administration, Zilla Panchayat, District Legal Services Authority, Labour Department, Child Helpline and Bar Association in Mangaluru. Additional Deputy Commissioner Kumar said a resurvey will be conducted in Dakshina Kannada district as per Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Amendment Act 2016 to ensure that child labour is not prevalent in the district.
He felt that there is a need to change the mindset of the people who employ children in households and other places. World Day Against Child Labour should not be restricted to a day. All the citizens should consider it as a duty not to employ children. Though Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Amendment Act 2016 came into existence in 1986, it is a tragedy that child labour system is prevalent in the society even to this day, he regretted.
Kumar said the push factors for the prevalence of child labour system include poverty, illiteracy, lack of awareness and parents’ gullibility.
In 2016-17, two cases of child labour have been unearthed in Dakshina Kannada and cases have been filed against those who employed them.
