Child labour is the result of various socio-economic, religious and traditional ills existed in the society. Poverty, illiteracy, lack of social and economic security, slavery, migration, religious and traditional attitudes and approaches of society at large etc. factors are responsible for engaging children as labour in society. Child labour is not only a socio economic problem, it is an abuse to democracy and democratic values those are observed in matured democratic nation like us.

Child labour is not simply violation of Acts and Laws, It is a violation of fundamental human rights accepted universally. Certainly it is way of exploitation of poor, illiterate, needy and excluded section of society.
