May Day: Prevent hazardous child labour

AGARTALA, May 1 (TIWN): The great seminal event like Mayday reminds about the protection of workers' rights-their occupational safety and human rights.

Marx and Angles are most 'prominent advocates for workers rights.' Their doctrine of state based on economic exploitation and class struggle   focused on labor issues and scientific socialism. 

  But whereas state is celebrating May Day on the other hand poor children are working heavily outside home in order to spend livelihood.

The incidence of child labour in Tripura is high among NE among other states. Poor children grow up on the margins of society in a state of neglect and deprivation, without educations, affection, care and guidance.  Their involvement in works holds manifold hazards and risks.

The main problems about their life include difficulty in getting job, or even if the job is found, the dissatisfaction at job, misbehavior from the employers, scarcity of money when they are ill and have to buy medicine or when they need doctor, only one dress to wear in the school and no time to play in the afternoon when, all others play. 

The burden of works for a meager wage compels them to sacrifice rights to education.
