3.11.2 Constitutional Safeguards Against Child Labour

India has had a long tradition of child labour, both in family enterprises and as waged labourers. Therefore, it became one of the prime concerns of policymakers in independent India. Articles 24 and 39 of the Constitution of India provided for eradication of child labour (Bhakhry, 2006; NCPCR, n.d.). In 2009, the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act was passed. This Act provides for compulsory free school education to children who are 6–14 years old, and reservation of 25% of seats in private schools for differently-abled and socially disadvantaged children.
