CHILD LABOUR
CHILD WORK
AND
Child work is found in developed countries where
children are legally employed for working. The
children in developed countries have enough to
eat, can attend school, and have time to play,
but the children choose to work part time or
during holidays so they can have pocket money to
spend. But for the under previleged children in
developing countries it is a question of basic
survival.

THE MAJOR STEP THAT CAN TURN THE TABLES
EDUCATION
EDUCATION IS NOT THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IT
IS INFACT THE MEANS TO ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS!

Dr. B.R. Ambedker,who belonged to a socially
deprived class of society headed the nation
towards liberation and wrote the constitution of
India. He set an example for the whole
mankind that the deprived children, if provided
with education can do wonders.

THE IDEA

• Every private school that wants to open a branch
  in a metro or any tier 2 city must be
  required by law to open at least one small branch
  in a village.
• Government should create a centralized monitoring
  center for these remote schools in metro cities.
• Simple things like clean drinking water, working
  infrastructure, clean toilets are some of the
  things that the students in these schools should
  cherish.
• A replacement teacher should be sent from a
  nearby school if a teacher goes on leave,
  ensuring that all classes are always staffed.

12

• There should be evening or night schools for
  teenage children who work in the factories, tea
  shops, cycle repair shops, work shops or do odd
  jobs during the day time.

• These schools should provide them meals and
  educate them in a way that is entertaining and
  interesting for the children.

• The learning process for the children should make
  use of audio visual methods, computers,
  educational charts etc.

13
CONTRIBUTION BY STUDENTS

• The Students of Universities and public schools
  can also contribute towards providing better
  quality education for slum children

•  They can enrich the experience that the slum
  children get from the government run schools that
  they attend.They can raise funds for them by
  organizing fetes, musical, cultural and sports
  events.

• They can also donate their spare books, school
  bags, old
• magazines, stationery etc. for these children. It
  is truly
• wonderful that as part of their college and
  school activities the students are able to source
  funds and provide for a better education for the
  lesser privileged children of our country. And
  this work may not just stop at providing
  classroom education. They can organize extra
  curricular activities for the kids.

• They can bring them to their campus at least once
  a week and give them classes for English, Maths,
  Science, personality development, general
  knowledge and so on.
• They can also take them for games and sports and
  show them inspirational documentaries .

14

• There should be mobile crèches for children of
  the labourers working at construction sites,
  factories and market places.
• These crèches should work towards providing the
  basic protection, healthy environment, nutrition
  and elementary education to children when their
  parents are out on work.

15

• Each of these schools can be built within the
  budget of Rs 20 lakh .
• Each school will be located in half an acre of
  land and will have five classrooms (for standard
  1-5) and a staff room. Other facilities will
  include toilets, a vegetable garden and a
  playground.
• Every school will also have an internet
  connection.
• The schools can also download teaching manuals
  and instructions from a centralized monitoring
  cell located in either the district headquarter
  or in metro city.
• The schools will run on two shifts and will have
  5-7 teachers whose salaries will start at about
  Rs 4,500. The head teacher can be paid about Rs
  7,000. On an average, the foundation will spend
  about Rs 12 lakh per annum to run each school.

BENEFIT

Education penetration is very good in cities
and very low in villages. There is a huge gap
that we need to fill else we will never be able
to become a developed country. Education and
schools in the village itself will create an eco
system that will make villages more independent
and people from villages will not have to migrate
to cities. This will reduce the pressure on city
infrastructure and there will be all round
development Every one, even the private schools
would benefit, as social activities like these
will help create good branding for the schools in
the cities which is where they make money.
17
Many industrialists such as SUNIL MITTAL OF
BHARTI, SHIV NADAR OF HCL TECHNOLOGIES and AZIM
PREMJI OF WIPRO Ltd are spending money on
education and the government is also stressing on
greater corporate involvement in social service
activities.
18
SUNIL MITTAL, Chairman of the Bharti Group
(Airtel) is the man behind the Bharti Foundation
which is running 236 schools across five states
for underprivileged children.

• These schools are being run at an annual cost of
  Rs 28 crore.
• More than 30,000 students are now studying in
  Mittals free English-medium schools in Punjab,
  Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu

19

• This is likely to increase to 50,000 in two
  years. The plan is to eventually build 500
  primary schools and 50 secondary schools which
  will enroll 100,000 students by 2013.

• More than 70 of the students in these schools
  are from SC/ST and OBC categories.
• Moreover, 47 of the students are girls.

20
AZIM PREMJI, the promoter of WIPRO who cut short
his education to look after the family business
after the death of his father in 1966, has
donated over Rs. 8000 Crores worth of his shares,
to build schools, train teachers , and fund other
educational activities.

This represents the single-largest donation by an
individual towards philanthropic activities. The
move comes at a time when there is greater
awareness about and spotlight on the social
responsibility activities of corporate and
industrialists
21
SHIV NADAR OF HCL recently donated over 580
crore by selling his 2.5 stake in HCL
Technologies to fund the education initiatives of
his eponymous foundation.
22
Teach Indiacampaign which has been initiated by
Times of India group. Teach India is a nation
building initiative (or social initiative) from
the Times of India that brings together children
in need of education and people who can
contribute a little time towards teaching them.
It is based on one simple principle If you have
the desire to teach, we will put you in touch
with underprivileged children who are willing to
learn.
If we all pledge to educate at least 1 person in
our lifetime it will be enough to help India rise
from the status of a developing nation to that of
a developed one.
23

• The initiatives taken by
• should be emulated by the other corporates as
  well
• The government should encourage them by giving
  them tax incentives on account of spending on
  these initiatives.
