Child Labour – Is a Shame

 “A labour has its own place in the cultured human family. Labour is necessary to keep the world going. This commercial and physical activity is necessary to all. It is a duty of every citizen to serve its nation and to be a helping hand of his family. But when this activity is forced brutally then termed exploitation or forced labour”.
