On World Day Against Child Labour, Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani on Saturday appealed to every citizen to report instances of child labour on PENCIL portal or call on Childline 1098.
Reaffirming her commitment towards combatting child labour, Irani said it is with people’s participation that it can be ensured that children get a childhood they deserve.
“Every child has a right to education and a happy childhood. On World Day Against Child Labour, let us reaffirm our commitment towards combatting child labour. It is with people’s participation that we can ensure our children get a childhood they deserve,” Irani tweeted.
“I appeal to every citizen to report instances of child labour on PENCIL Portal http://pencil.Gov.In or call on Childline - 1098. Because... We owe it to our children - the future of our Nation,” she said in another tweet.
