Employment of children in different sectors of the Economy is a faitaccompli of any other every human Society, be it underdeveloped, developing or the developed one. While the problem is rampant in certain sectors and economics, it is less prevalent in other sectors. Nevertheless the unorganized sector remains by far the most vulnerable sector where the magnitude of exploitation and abuse of children in found in an alarming proportion. The onslaught of industrial and technological revolutions coupled with the changing life styles has added new dimensions to the whole problem. As a matter of fact the problem is vexed and widespread. Children are Greatly loved in India but this does not assure them the care and concern which is their due. Our country is emphasizing on technology important no doubt, but it is the human being that counts, and it he counts, then he counts much more as a child.
