"The use of child labour in various industries is a big area of concern for our policy makers. In many developing countries a very large number of children work in sub human conditions and are payed very less for full work. It has been seen that a large number of children are surviving under great health and safety hazards. Above all the workplace trauma is widespread, stunting the growth of the children both physically and mentally.

Hence, considering the problem in its totality, an effort has been made to cover the diverse aspects of the subject." (jacket)
