Child Labour:
QIC & AC Delhi critically analyses the various policies of the government on rehabilitation and treatment of child labor and it also searched the processes that can be explored by the group to get an effective Order from Delhi High Court in the pending PIL.[1]
■ Action plan before the group:
i) Explore the similar networks working in this field e.g. Delhi legal aid society for pressure building and lobbying.
ii) As judiciary is showing high concern on this problem, one of the members proposed a brief meeting with child labor cell, various committees and honorable judges will be beneficial to sensitize the system.
iii) Explore RTI as much as possible
iv) Need to mobilize and sensitize the society and establishment at large
