Childhood is that phase of a human’s life which contributes significantly towards the development of one’s personality. This very personality gets ruined when children at a tender age are forced to join the workforce of the country in place of joining schools. As per the report of the International Labour Organization (ILO), child labour can be defined as a practice which is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful for the children. The country is home to about 164.5 million children out of which 12.67 million are engaged as child labourers, which is indeed an alarming number. A huge population residing in India lives below poverty line (BPL) most of them being migrants and are deprived of the basic necessities to sustain their lives. The only solution to combat this menace is Education. The proposed study would highlight and ing focus on all the factors leading to the rise in child labour incidences in Delhi, the laws, enactments which were passed by the legislature at national and regional levels to improve educational facilities and its implementation. For the purpose of this research, data has been collected from newspapers, government reports, article and books. It includes field research which mainly comprises of observations, questionnaire, interview, case studies and few landmark judgments.
