Assam Rescues 2,800 Child Labourers, Fails Rehabilitation

In Assam, India, over 2,800 children working as labourers were rescued in the last five years.

Most of these children were working in shops and other commercial places.

However, the government has not done much to help these children after rescuing them.

Very few employers were punished for using child labour.

The government also did not give enough money to help these children.

Only a few children were enrolled in schools, and many districts did not get any money to help the rescued children.

Activists say the government needs to do more to stop child labour and help these children.
