Present children are future citizens of the society. But in media children are the present economic source of the poor parents. Child labour is unlawful, irrational and social evil. In India most of the parents instead of sending their school for learning them are reading to work place for earning. In the present scenario. India has the distinction of wave highest number of child labourers. In our society children form an integral past of house-hold economy. Sending children to work for wages out-side the home in a logical outcome of their activities within the household. If the children can contribute to the household economy by doing work appropriate to their age and are able to do adult job, at the age of 12 or 13 they can also work in some other field or he hired to do some other job. Due to exploitation nature of the wage labour market, the sufferings of child labourers of the economy in which child labour in considered as cheap. Hence, the study of child labour necessitates an understanding of these social memories. The present study has been undertaken to visualize and penalize the points.
