Rag pickers play an important role in our society. We spread our garbage in the society and
these rag pickers use to collect it and send it for recycling. We all know about Child trafficking,
child labor and Sexual exploitation of child. Nevertheless, ever we tried to rescue any child who
uses to collect these rags from dumping area. Such kind of work done by the children‘s, amount to
violation of their basic human rights. Even though if they were not force by anyone to do such
kinds of work but still it will amount to violation of their basic human right. Poverty and illiteracy is
one of most common reason behind any kind of violation of human right. In India, any kind of
child labors is deal under Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986. Here, in
this Act certain Occupation and Process are mentioned in the Schedule Part – A and Part - B which
is hazardous for the children below 14 years and these includes "rag picking and scavenging" also.
In M.C. Mehta Vs State of Tamil Nadu case, the Honorable Supreme Court of India has given
certain directions regarding the manner in which children working in hazardous occupations
should be shift from such working conditions and they should be rehabilitate. In addition, the
conditions of the children who work in the non-hazardous occupations should be improved and
regulated by proper law. For "Swach Bharat Abhiyan" not only we have to clean our society but for
development of our country, we have to spread literacy also so that our future generation should
literate one.
