Q.

Answer –

CHILD LABOUR

There are laws in our country which aim at abolishing child labour. Still it has been observed that a number of children below the age of 14    are forced to work under pitiable conditions to earn a living.  All  this results into malnourishment and stunted physical as well  as  mental  growth, such children are not enrolled in schools to get formal education. Such children fall prey to bad habits like – smoking, drinking and drugs. They have no aim and thus are unable to lead a purposeful life.
