| Child labour: 'tall claims' go hay wire | | |  Pankhuri Aggarwal
Jammu, Jan 29: Contradicting the tall claims of center government and state government for the prevention of child labour, various government institutions are explicitly executing child labour in the government institution and various campus.
Children working in factories with little bare hands have no one to listen but when all this takes place in the temple of knowledge that is schools and various offices starts such activities what will happen to rights of child. The campus of a higher education centre where the children working at tuck shops interact with hundred of people each day not only the students but many from the teaching faculty also but still their voice remain unnoticed.
There is no one to concern over the injustice met to little kids it looks like when no body ever tried to pitch voice against the breaching of laws while the employers simply justified that they are offering them a helping hand to them.
"They need money and we provide them, what is bad in it," said owner of a shop in Rehari.
He further added, "This practice will alleviate poverty". Another shopkeeper, on anonymity said, "These kids are willingly working energetically as they hail from poor families and they wanted to an 'earning hand' to their respective families.
"So I personally feel there is nothing wrong in employing them instead they go for beggary or found themselves in wrong hands who may use them and turn them as 'outlaws,' he said adding that employing them is not only feeding a family but also is a help to social set up.
"This is pathetic, that on one side various institutions are claiming tall promises to eradicate child labour from the state, whereas on the other side they are running such activities under their own nose. We have been taught in the classes that child labour is the biggest crime against the integrity and prosperity of nation, whereas they themselves breach that integrity," said a student Sunana Bali.
When contacted the dean of student welfare of jammu university, Prof. NK Triphati, he said, "I am unaware with the fact that all such practices are taking places, but at earliest the authorities will take action against the same".
He further added, "We have a committee, who check all such practices and dealt with violators, I will personally visit the place and stop such malpractice immediately. We have laid down a strict guideline for all our workers working in University campus. The violators of those guidelines will be punished".
