An approach to reduce child laborer

 

No matter many parents have realized the importance of education, but still we can see “chotoos” around us. The main reason for this is poverty.

How can we motivate people to send “chottos” to school?

One of the possible ways is to provide a small stipend, better than what their children get paid.

Children are creative; no matter they are from rich or poor family.

Put a dot on a board and ask them for answer?

We will get different answers from them.

But from a grown up individuals, the answer is "dot" which is unanimous.

if we could promote  and sell the various creative arts, such as painting, embroider, sculptures, accessories designing, tattoo stickers etc. which are being made by the children during their art sections we can make money out of it and the government can pay it as a stipend to the “chootos”.

The product can be as simple as a designer kerchief targeting young girls or a designer T-Shirts targeting young men of the buyers market segment and these crafts can also be exported to other countries which will earn more money.

We have to spread this message to youngsters in colleges and schools, even a one rupee contribution from them in buying a kerchief will make a big difference in child’s life. This can be spread through some cultural events in the campus or through short films which they could watch through social sites and you tube.

In this way “chootos” will gain skill set which they can use it in future, an education during the first half of their school and also a stipend which helps to run their family.
