Child Labour Speech 3

Good morning to the Excellencies, Principal sir, sir, madam, my seniors and dear friends. My name
is I study in class I would like to speech on child labour at this occasion because it is one of the
big issues interfering with the growth and development of our country. I would like to say a big thank
to my class teacher to give me such as a great opportunity to speech here on this topic.
My dear friends, child labour is a global issue, it is not the issue of our country only so, it needs a
global effort to get removed from the society. It has affected worldwide especially developing
countries to a great extent. Children are involved in various types of labour at low payment; bonded
child labour is one of them. It is a very old system in India in which children are forced, or partly
forced by the owner to perform their job for long time. In this system, especially child or his/her
parents have to agree for an agreement (oral or written) with the creditor. It was emerged in India
during colonial period to get reliable and cheap labour at loan or land-lease relationship basis.
Legislation was passed in 1977 in order to prohibit bonded child labour in India. However, some
evidences have found proving the continuation of bonded child labour in the country.
Child labour is a serious issue in the society in terms of economic welfare because children involved
in labour at their little age cannot get necessary education. They drop the opportunity of being a well
developed (physically, mentally, intellectually, socially, psychologically and financially) citizen of the
nation. Their physical and mental condition reduces day by day which makes them more vulnerable
to various diseases. They remain illiterate lifelong which limit their ability to contribute in the wellbeing of their own and country.
There is need to make industrialists and businessmen well aware about all the adverse effects of
child labour on the countrys development. Everyone must understand that education is the only tool
to improve necessary skills among children which will help in increasing their own and nations
productivity through secured higher-skilled jobs in future. It needs some effective and positive steps
to be taken by the end of all Indian citizens especially well educated youths of the country to remove
this social issue.
Thank You
