In India, about 1.4 million child labors are in the age group of 7-14 years. What is more concerning that these kids can\u2019t even write their names. This is all because of lack of education.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Is this the kind of future we want children to grow up?<\/em><\/strong><br><strong><em>Is this right way to shape the minds of a future generation?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">More than 200 million children throughout the world are presently working as child laborers. Though its practice has been declined to many extents yet some children are still seen working in factories and small shops.
