How To Stop Child Labour in India?


 The pandemic resulted in the closure of all the schools in India for an indefinite period of time. Due to this, several children, especially from impoverished backgrounds were forced to engaged in child labour. Donate online to help us conduct a nationwide childhood rescue, and send these children back to school. 

The closure of schools on the announcement of the nationwide lockdown in 2020 affected about 286 million students in India. Out of this, only 37.6 million were able to continue school online. Ever since the pandemic struck, children from 62% of the households in 14 states across the country dropped out of school of which discontinuation was reported in 67% of the rural households and 55% of the urban households. Most of these students could never return back to school. High dropout rates in India had a severe impact on the well-being of children even before the onset of the global pandemic. As indicated in the Dropout Rate table, the Ministry of Education states that the dropout rates increase with the level of education. Moreover, it is also evident from the table that the dropout rate among secondary students is more than 10 times that of the primary students. UNICEF India’s report indicates that health concerns were a major reason, hampering students from returning to school during COVID-19, especially among children aged 5-13 years.
