Sponsor a child and avoid Child Labour

It's all about giving a needy child the hope of a better future!

Millions of children in today's world undergo the worst forms of child labor which includes Child Slavery, Child prostitution, Child Trafficking, Child Soldiers. In modern era of material and technological advancement, children in almost every country are being callously exploited. The official figure of child laborers world wide is 13 million. But the actual number is much higher.

India accounts for the second highest number where child labour in the world is concerned. Africa accounts for the highest number of children employed and exploited. The fact is that across the length and breadth of the nation, children are in a pathetic condition.

While experts blame the system, poverty, illiteracy, adult unemployment; yet the fact is that the entire nation is responsible for every crime against a child. Instead of nipping the problem at the bud, child labour in India was allowed to increase with each passing year. And today, young ones below the age of 14 have become an important part of various industries; at the cost of their innocence, childhood, health and for that matter their lives.

According to the Census 2001, there were 12.7 million economically active children in the age-group of 5-14 years. The number was 11. 3 million during 1991 (Population Census) thus showing an increase in the number of child labourers.

Poor student needs financial help to pursue his higher studies

This is the condition of Mr. B. Rajasekhar Reddy, who lost his parents due to health problems. He could continue his studies with the help of some lecturers. He continued his studies by staying in the hostel of Schedule Castes.

Poverty shatters tribal boy's dreams

M. Veera Babu secures 77th rank in IIT without any coaching

For seven years since he joined Jawahar Navodaya School, M. Veera Babu studied vigorously to realise his dream of securing admission in any of the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology.

The 19-year-old tribal student's hard work finally paid dividends when he got a rank of 77 in scheduled tribe category and admission in IIT Kanpur. But poverty is standing between him and the IIT as the fatherless teenager is unable to bear the annual expenditure running into nearly Rs. 70,000 a year to complete his studies.

Babu hails from an interior village of Usirikayalapalli in Karepally mandal of Khammam district. His father Bhuli, a labourer, died in his childhood. Since then, his mother shouldered the responsibility of the family by working as labourer in the village. His three sisters - one elder to him- are pursuing studies.

Despite not undergoing any dedicated coaching for IIT joint entrance examination, Babu reached his cherished goal by relying on books available in the school. He did not appear for EAMCET as the intermediate syllabus was different from that of the CBSE to which the Jawahar Navodaya School was affiliated.

He is likely to get admission either in four-year metallurgical engineering or five-year integrated M.Sc. (Chemistry). Babu has to pay Rs. 30,000 fee for two semesters each year and Rs. 1,500 a month towards hostel expenses. Money for books and miscellaneous expenditure takes his average annual budget to Rs. 70,000.

For his mother working as daily-wage earner, that is huge sum and mobilising it looks next to impossible. All through his life, Babu wanted to be an IITian and hence preferred not to join National Institute of Technology, Warangal, though he got admission there this year.

“When the opportunity has come, inability to pay money is leaving my future in doldrums. I am appealing to kind hearted people for financial assistance and simultaneously trying to borrow money,” he said. Those interested in supporting him can call +91 96181-61977.
