Child labor is a major social issue in India, with over 120 million children engaged in labor under the legal age. Many work in hazardous conditions that negatively impact their health and development. States like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh have the highest numbers of child laborers, most of whom work in rural agricultural jobs. While laws ban employment of children under 14 and mandate education, poverty is a key driver of child labor. NGOs like Childline work to support vulnerable children and connect them to resources through their helpline. Individual actions like donating, raising awareness, and ensuring access to education can help address this serious problem.
