Abstract
Child labour is an intolerable evil affecting the lives of large number of children. They are exploited in various industries in India, such as textile, matches, construction, hotels etc. Children are employed because of cheap labour and it helps to reduce the cost of production. This in turn helps the entrepreneur to earn higher profits. The employment of children does not exist in organized industries. It is revealed in various unorganized sector. Though there are so many laws prohibiting child labour, the employment of children below 14 years of age is reported to be continuing in rural as well as urban areas. But it is stated that quite often the employment of children is due to sympathy rather than the desire to exploit children. Employers often forge medical certificates to by-pass Government regulations and retain the children.
