Mandya DC: Education is Key to Curbing Child Labour
The government in Mandya is focusing on stopping child labor by making sure that kids who are rescued from work also get to go to school.
They've helped enroll a bunch of kids in school over the last few years and want to keep an eye on how well they are doing in class.
They're reminding everyone that it's not enough to just save these children from working; they have to keep going to school.
They are also planning events to teach people about the problem and make sure that kids don't end up working again.
Deputy Commissioner Kumara emphasized the importance of education for rescued child laborers.
The Labour Department enrolled 36 child laborers in school over three years.
The Education Department is urged to monitor the children's academic performance and attendance.
Raids are regularly conducted in urban areas; vigilance is needed in rural areas.
World Day Against Child Labour will be observed on June 12 with awareness workshops.
