Child Labor Act & National Education Policy 2020: A Challengeable Ensue of the Street Children at Kolkata Metropolitan City.

Author(s) Ajit Raha, Suparna Sanyal Mukherjee
Country India
Abstract Economic necessity often forces children to work in informal sectors such as street vending, rag-picking, or begging which impacts Child labour limits the time and energy available for schooling, leading to poor academic performance and higher dropout rates.Street children often live in areas with inadequate educational infrastructure or far from schools. The distance, lack of transportation, and unsafe environments discourage regular school attendance. Additionally, street children may not have the necessary documentation for school enrolment.

THE CHILD LABOUR (PROHIBITION AND REGULATION) ACT, 1986 introduced Employment of children below 14 and 15 years in certain prohibited employments have been prohibited by various Acts but there is no procedure laid down in any law for deciding in which employments, occupations or processes the employment of children should be banned. There is also no law to regulate the working conditions of children in most of the employments where they are not prohibited from working and are working under exploitative conditions. Accordingly it was decided to enact a comprehensive law on the subject. To achieve this objective the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Bill was introduced in the Parliament.

The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) is a transformative document that aims to revolutionize India’s education system. NEP 2020 builds on the pillar of access, equity, quality, affordability and accountability. These principles drive its vision for a knowledge of the vibrant society of which street children are one amongst all.

The present sequel peered into the street children of Sonarpur area of Kolkata Metropolitan City. Total 57 children were selected for the present study purpose for their educational status. The education is less and followed below average due to below poverty structure and lack of facilities which enforce them to illegal activities and enhance social menace.
